That Ken Saro-Wira guy was nothing but trouble, standing in the way of progress, technology and full gas-tanks in Great Britain. I would certainly prefer to line up with the Body Shop on this question than the Nigerian colonels and Shell Oil. Do you go to Shell Oil cocktail parties? I bet they have excellent canapes. These types of soirees probably have many guests who enjoy professional boxing and fox-hunting as much as you do. What will be LM's next TV special programmes? "Manhunt: Ken Saro-Wira Brought to Justice"; "Shell Oil: Civilizing Savage Africa"; "Why Turning the Amazon Rainforest into Toothpicks Confirms Volume One of Marx's Capital". Please keep us apprised.
