'Prince' Turki Al-Faisal, the Saudi Ambassador to Britain, has accused Johann of "waging a private jihad against the House of Saud". (He's right). Johann has been called "a Stalinist" and "beneath contempt" by Noam Chomsky, 'Horrible Hari' by Niall Ferguson, "an uppity little queer" by Bruce Anderson, 'a drug addict' by George Galloway, "fat" by the Dalai Lama and "a cunt" by Busted."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-86333156250382109562007-12-31T18:14:00.000+00:002007-12-31T18:14:00.000+00:00Are you taking the fucking piss?
