Opening my airmail copy of The Spectator this afternoon, I saw that the

editorial page bore the headline “Let them marry.” Sez I to myself: “Oh no!

The Speccie has sold the pass! They have climbed on board the same-sex

marriage bandwagon! (Disco-group-wagon, whatever.) Everything Jonah has

been saying about the decline of my beloved Speccie is true!”

False alarm. The editorial is about Prince Charles and Camilla

Parker-Bowles. Phew!
