Now that I have helped to highlight to curious correlation between Labour donors and people receiving honours by purchasing a virtual peerage, I need to decide what title to take upon my virtual elevation.

Suggestions so far include:

• Baron Greenback
• Baron Knights
• Baron Landscape (geddit?)
• Baron Howells (of course)
• Baron Howells of Course
• Baron Howells of Gallifrey (not suggested by me)
• Baron Will (à la Geraint Howells) of the Weald
• Baron Will o’ the Wisp
• Baron Howells of teh Internets

Further suggestions in the comments, please. I also need ideas for a motto. My current favourite is ad orbis ephemeris publico, which I suspect is a grammatical monstrosity.

And don’t forget to buy your own vPeerage.

Fancy a bit of ermine to go with your jeans and T-shirt? Tempted by a title? Then why not buy a peerage?

The Elect the Lords campaign is offering virtual peerages. It doesn’t come with any land or a vote in the second chamber, but:

Your money will be spent on campaigning for a democratic second chamber. The government have promised a free vote on the composition of the upper house in this Parliament – it could be just months away! We urgently need funds to ensure we can put pressure on MPs to respect the opinions of the vast majority of UK citizens who want the second chamber to be at least predominently elected.

With a sale now on, virtual peerages start at just £7.50.

Richard Huzzey calls for Ian Blair to go, and points out the irony of a Government minister having his conversation recorded:

The only consolation, if this is the end of his reign, is that the cabinet may think twice again before claiming that privacy is irrelevant and only those with anything to hide have anything to fear from the police

If you’ve not seen it yet, do check out The Very Fluffy Diary of Millennium Dome, Elephant. It’s funny, mischievously satirical, and awfully furry:

On the radio, a man from the police is saying that the police should keep their SHOOT TO KILL policy. But it should not be CALLED shoot to kill. Even though it involves SHOOTING people in order to KILL them.

Daddy Richard says I should look up DOUBLETHINK.
