I must admit I have many faults. One of them is that I have over the years learned the dark art of playing the man rather than the ball and assassinating my opponents' characters. I have often used humour to do my dirty work. I learned many of my dirty tricks when I was a member of the Labour Party during the 1980s from a true master of the dark arts who was a local councillor.
However, when it comes to character assassinations, I must take my hat off to Frankie Fraser, who is one of the most colourful members of the London underworld.
His critique of the judge who sentenced him to 10 years imprisonment for his part in the Richardson gang's alleged torturing of victims is a masterpiece. They say mud sticks, if this opinion piece was widely circulated, then the judge's reputation wouldn't be in the gutter but in the sewer and half way to the Thames Estuary.
