[Maniacal laughter.]  After threatening everyone under the Sun with libel lawsuits and academic investigations, Lord Christopher Monckton might just be getting his.  Friends of Gin and Tonic has just posted a response by the House of Lords Information Office to their inquiry about Monckton’s claim he is a member of the House of Lords.  Here it is:

Dear Derek,
Many thanks for your emails.
Viscount Monckton of Brenchley is not and has never been a member of the House of Lords. However, allegations that he has claimed to be a member, and that he has used an emblem resembling the parliamentary emblem, have been drawn to our attention.
The House is currently taking steps with a view to ensuring that Lord Monckton does not in future either claim to be a member of the House or use the parliamentary emblem or any variant thereof.
Best wishes,
Information Office
House of Lords
London SW1A 0PW
