I note that "James Whitaker, the royal commentator and former royal editor of the Daily Mirror, has died following a battle with cancer". The BBC has a love-in article lauding the chap with words like "Fleet Street legend and a man of boundless generosity and enthusiasm", "Terribly sad news today" and "respected by colleagues and rivals as well. He was just the best".

On the contrary, the man was a bile-laden knifesman intent on harming as many people as he could manage from his public platform. People should automatically spit whenever they hear his name mentioned.

Here's his style.HEWITT'S A PICTURE OF BOORDOM

MORE reports reach me about the boorish behaviour of James Hewitt. Flushed with success following the handing-back to him of love letters written by Princess Diana which The Mirror had "captured", the former Captain (he was never made-up to a Major) took a dolly bird to a Chelsea flea-pit to see the new film Hilary And Jackie.

Hewitt complained loudly when the flick, which tells the tragic story of cellist Jacqueline du Pre (ironically a much-loved friend of Prince Charles), was late starting. Says my informant: "The woman kept having to calm the fellow down - and comfort him - as if he were a child."

Pathetic, isn't it?

GAY LESBIAN SKI WEEK

MY timing in leaving Whistler is immaculate. Gay Lesbian Ski Week starts tomorrow. We had a foretaste the other night when two woofters walked down Main Street wearing nothing but leather bikinis. It was 9pm and -5C.

I hope they suffered...

And you, sir, and all those other despicable parasites you swam with.

You liked him then?

The man made whatever tabloid issue he wrote in even grubbier than usual. Those who replace him should have a finger joint cut off each time they come close to emulating his performance.

I was just wondering if you have mellowed with age ?

I find myself increasingly of the opinion that those who laugh along with the opinions and outright lies of the tabloid pieces are as guilty as those who write them in the first place, if that's any indication.

I have laughed along at your opinion often, that don't make me bad does it ?

So my digits are safe

For the moment. Who knows, I might mellow further.
