Blackadder, the most successful historical television sitcom yet conceived, is
more than a quarter of a century old. When the blundering Edmund Blackadder,
with his absurd pointy shoes, basin haircut and equestrian ineptitude, made

Bosworth Field), Margaret Thatcher was crushing Michael Foot at the polls in
real life.

Visit Japan and all seems calm and comfortable. Tokyo at least appears prosperous and, of course, spotlessly clean. You could eat your breakfast off the pavements. It is also the safest large city in the world, with very low crime against the person.

Yesterday the public got its first view of the last testimony of Anthony Blunt, art historian and Soviet spy, which had been kept under a lock and key in the British Library since he died, subject to a 25-year rule banning anyone from reading them. The quarter century is now up and anyone curious enough can join the queue of readers at the library to dip into a long memoir by an old man looking back on a life soured by what he called the, “biggest mistake of my life”.

Both men have friends in high places. Although he is a close associate of Russia’s Prime Minister and former president Vladimir Putin, and is said to have been the richest man in Russia before the credit crunch, Mr Deripaska only became truly famous in Britain after both the Business Secretary, Lord Mandelson, and the Shadow Chancellor, George Osborne, found themselves aboard his yacht off the coast of Corfu last summer. Mr Chernoy, meanwhile, is a good friend of Israel’s controversial right-wing foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman, who is currently under a police investigation for corruption that could yet remove him from office.
