Fortunately drollery is alive and well - Jack Straw to Dominique de Villepin... The British Foreign Secretary had prepared his speech before entering the chamber. He always carries a set of yellow legal pads with him, and a red felt-tip pen. As he heard De Villepin's statement and China's follow-up, he began scribbling furiously on his pad. His speech needed to be rewritten. His words were strong and, at the beginning, laced with humour. 'Britain was founded in 1066,' Straw said, referring to the 'old' issue once more. Before adding, with a smile: 'By the French.'
