J. Evans quotes:
"Lord Rees-Mogg,
council chairman. A list of unacceptable words has been compiled, in order
of their power to shock, in a survey by the Council of 300 viewers. At his
briefing in London yesterday, Lord Rees-Mogg disclosed that the C-word came
top of the list, followed by two American-derived graphically sexual terms
of abuse, the M-phrase and another C-phrase. The F-word ranked fifth."
Interesting. Interesting peerage, too. Rees is of course Welsh, but I'm not
sure about
(i) Mogg
and
(ii) the hyphenation.
So, I'd like to know "e:" of this Lord. I wonder if it's a new peerage, and
if not, where the family seat is.
From Who's Who:
"Hobbies: gardening"
"is the author of a "List of Unspeakable Words" for the Broadcasting Company.
A civil servant".
