Madam, – I note a certain gentlemen from West Belfast has got a job at the court of Mrs Windsor (he has taken the “queen’s shilling”), Breaking news, January 26th. Mr Adams henceforth will be known as the Crown Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead. However, it is interesting to note that a previous holder of this office was a Michael Martin. It sounds like the pantomime season has already started on the opposition benches, for the said Mr Martin is now known as Baron Martin of Springburn, of Port Dundas. – Yours, etc,
