You are not funny, Duke

Too old and should be in a wheelchair? Duke has exposed to the world that he lacks the basic etiquette that goes with high office.

Should he continue to aspire to higher positions, he should consider educating himself on what constitutes gentlemanly behaviour.

Knowledge is power.

The higher one rises in the world the larger becomes the glass house in which one’s personal reputation resides. Duke should take pause and examine the cracks in his own glass house before making inane remarks that can be described as crass.

The sadness of this is that Duke might think he was being humorous.

London’s appointment is most suitable because of his 16 successful years as THA leader. He possesses the experience and personal gravitas necessary to represent his country on the world stage.

London is not a place for political amateurs who view it as a step on the cocktail circuit. London, not Washington, is the centre of the international ambassadorial world.
