No news yet as to which potential leader Peter Stringfellow is backing for the Tory leadership. As a generous supporter of the Conservative Party his opinion and endorsement will be sought out by contenders, of that Guido has no doubt.

As Guido has mentioned before, it is shameful of the Conservative Party that they have not yet proposed Stringy for a gong. His nightclub has been the venue for many of their events, Margaret Thatcher herself has attended Stringfellows. Were he a more boring captain of industry making widgets instead of the world’s most famous nightclub owner, no doubt he would have been knighted by now. Politicians are always recommending lesser non-entity donors for gongs. It is way past time that Mr Stringfellow heard the words “arise Sir Peter”. Shame on those who so enjoy his hospitality and support for not having put him forward yet!

The Campaign for a ‘Sir’ Peter Stringfellow now has a petition to the Queen for you to sign. Do it, and right this wrong.
