From The Times
today, in the "People with Andrew Pierce" section:
The Tory peer Tristan Garel-Jones, who was John Majorâs Deputy Chief Whip, still ventures into the MPsâ dining rooms to stir up trouble on the euro.
His latest declaration: "When we win the referendum on the constitution, leading Tory Eurosceptics will be rounded up, tried and shot for their disloyalty to the European Union."
High on Lord Garel-Jonesâs hitlist are the Thatcherite Eric Forth, Owen Paterson, who was Iain Duncan Smithâs bag carrier, and John Redwood, high priest of Euroscepticism.
Garel-Jones would exclude fellow Eurosceptics David Heathcoat-Amory and Lord Cranborne. They would be allowed to board a plane to a safe country outside the Union... because they're "toffs".
Hilarious, isn't he?
