Christopher Monkton who is the 3rd Viscount Monckton of Brenchley, Fourth Flapdoodle of Hampton-on-the-Bumlick, fake climatologist, and Pajamas Media correspondent (which makes him a peer of Joseph Wurzelbacher 1st Plumber Wurzelbacher of Holland Ohio) did not like it when those damn dirty Danish apes put their paws on him at the climate conference:
Inside the conference center, “world leader” after “world leader” got up and postured about the need to Save The Planet, the imperative to do a deal, the necessity to save the small island nations from drowning, etc., etc., etc.
Outside, in the real world, it was snowing, and a foretaste of the Brave New World being cooked up by “world leaders” in their fantasy-land was already evident. Some 20,000 observers from non-governmental organizations – nearly all of them true-believing Green groups funded by taxpayers – had been accredited to the conference.
However, without warning the UN had capriciously decided that all but 300 of them were to be excluded from the conference today, and all but 90 would be excluded on the final day.
[...]
In the end, they decided to turn us away, which they did with an ill grace and in a bad-tempered manner. As soon as the decision was final, the Danish police moved in. One of them began the now familiar technique of manhandling me, in the same fashion as one of his colleagues had done the previous day.
Once again, conscious that a police helicopter with a high-resolution camera was hovering overhead, I thrust my hands into my pockets in accordance with the St. John Ambulance crowd-control training, looked my assailant in the eye and told him, quietly but firmly, to take his hands off me.
He complied, but then decided to have another go. I told him a second time, and he let go a second time. I turned to go and, after I had turned my back, he gave me a mighty shove that flung me to the ground and knocked me out.
I came to some time later (not sure exactly how long), to find my head being cradled by my friends, some of whom were doing their best to keep the police thugs at bay while the volunteer ambulance-men attended to me.
I was picked up and dusted me off. I could not remember where I had left my telephone, which had been in my hand at the time when I was assaulted. I rather fuzzily asked where it was, and one of the police goons shouted, “He alleges he had a mobile phone.”
In fact, the phone was in my coat pocket, where my hand had been at the time of the assault. The ambulance crew led me away and laid me down under a blanket for 20 minutes to get warm, plying me with water and keeping me amused with some colorfully colloquial English that they had learned.
I thanked them for their kindness, left them a donation for their splendid service, and rejoined my friends. A very senior police officer then came up and asked if I was all right. Yes, I said, but no thanks to one of his officers, who had pushed me hard from behind when my back was turned and had sent me flying.
The police chief said that none of his officers would have done such a thing. I said that several witnesses had seen the incident, which I intended to report. I said I had hoped to receive an apology but had not received one, and would include that in my report. The policeman went off looking glum, and with good reason.
To assault an accredited representative of a conference your nation is hosting, and to do it while your own police cameramen are filming from above, and to do it without any provocation except my polite, non-threatening request that I should not be manhandled, is not a career-enhancing move, as that police chief is about to discover to his cost.

Today, as I lay in the snow with a cut knee, a bruised back, a banged head, a ruined suit, and a written-off coat, I wondered whether the brutality of the New World Order was moving closer than President Klaus – or any of us – had realized.
What ho! Common people manhandling Lord Christopher Monkton, Count-Palatine of Frampton-Comes-Alive? What is the world coming to? Harrumph, everyone, harrumph. This must not stand. Obviously all of these ruffian gendarmes must be rounded up, along with their fakey climate alarmist enablers, and locked away from civil society. Perhaps we can use that concentration camp health facility that Sir Monkton, First Queef of Throckbottom Bumblefoot, was kind enough to build on his estate, Cameltoe-on-the-Thames.
A sound daily thrashing, followed by a firm yet tender buggering, should set them straight.
Also. Harrumph.

Didn’t those damn vikings get the memo?!? Police brutality should be reserved exclusively for dirty fucking hippies, a-rabs and other riff-raff. Commoners. Plebs, if you will. Royalty — perceived or otherwise, no matter how fuckwitted or out-of-line — should always be given the red carpet treatment.
As a Dane-in-exile I only hope the riot police in Copenhagen send Lord Christopher a nicely padded bill for their services…
“Stwike him, Centuwion. Stwike him vewy wuffly!”
“Throw him to the ground, sir?
“Ah, yes, thwow him to the gwound.”
We can only hope he got in a good ” unhand me sir, or I shall flay you ”
or some such before his demise.
Holy shit:
The Visqueen used “doughty” in a sentence. He really did. Too bad he wasted it on “Not Santa” Klaus instead of the cool Václav. (But then, this is someone who insists on referring to “Ugo” Chavez, so what can you do? I’d bet that he petitioned Peter Barnes to be added as a character in The Ruling Class, thinking it to be a sincere and affectionate tribute to the hereditary peerage.)
Of course, Viscount DeMoney’s retelling leaves out the part where he turned tail and fled, screaming “Mummy! MUMMY! HELP ME!!!” in a blind panic.
Also the part where he called the officer a filthy peasant.
They didn’t understand him because they don’t speak Ponce in Denmark.
He’s like a gay Meghan McArdle.
Maybe I’m missing something, but if Mr. Viscount Monckton’s report is to be believed–and I don’t see why it shouldn’t be–I don’t see what all the tboggalicious snark is about. He was manhandled and insulted by the police, for which he was rightfully pissed off. He was treated well by the locals, for which he was grateful and showed it by donating to their cause. How does this make him an asshole?
Another effing journalist who thinks he knows everything????
Because anyone with that nice of a drawing room has to be an asshole.
Oh, also because he has no discernable tranining in science, yet he feels he is a global warming expert.
Ho ho ho, now that made me smile during this holiday season!
Maybe because those on the unbalanced right have a history of, eh, distorting the truth regarding police brutality that always seems to single them out. And the fact that he is a pompous, dishonest asshole for those of us that have been paying attention.
Little Lord Fauntleroy thinks he won the Nobel Peace Prize.
I am not kidding.
The old Viscount does have a thing for hyperbole. I don’t remember Malkin condemning that as wanker-thuggery.
Because when last seen, he was calling environmentalists Nazis, literally. He appears to have a tendency towards exaggeration that makes it kind of hard for me to believe him on any subject, much less his certainty as to who pushed him from behind in a crowd and why.
It’s worth looking at the Wikipedia article on Vicodin Hrumph-Hrumph Frothingslosh; he majored in journalism in college (no science training whatsoever), and, oh, “Monckton has referred to himself as a ‘peer of the House of Lords’ but is not a member of that body.” He couldn’t get elected to a club of the inbred upper-class twits, how sad is that?
I type too damned slow.
“His lecture to undergraduates at the Cambridge Union Society on climate change has been released by SPPI as Apocalypse? NO!, a full-length feature movie on high-definition DVD (available from http://www.greatswindle.com). Apocalypse? NO! been described by Professor Larry Gould of the University of Hartford, Connecticut, “as one of the best films ever made…””
He’s a MOVIE STAR! Al Gore ain’t got nothing on him. (Well, maybe except for a real Oscar).
His Nobel prize pin, made of a gold wrapped chocolate coin recovered from a
physics experimentdiscount bin at Rite-aid, was presented to him by theEmeritus Professor of Physics at the University of Rochestera man dressed as Willie Wonka in the East Village, New York, USA.Fixed.
LMAO. That really catches it. Meggs would be a perfect beard fer this guy – TWO Kweens Of The Sonoran Desert, one ectually royal. With insane gimpy flappy armed gigolo McCain raging around and Beer Gurl Heiress Mumsy stoned out on pilfered ludes when she’s not screaming at Megs to cut some fucking weight. And Bridget there, an unnoticed “I, Claudius.”
Not a royal. A mere noble. (Not that both categories don’t suck, but …)
OK, be a pedant. LOL.
@ #2…
Heh…..spoken by a close friend of Bigus Dickus …no ?
Excellent spelling BTY..
He immediately brings to mind the Monty Python’s “Upper Middle Class Twit of the Year”. But HARRUMPH, he well ensconced in the nobility. A millennium of in breeding certainly has taken its toll…
Lord Bunkton is likely nostalgic for the colonialist days, when “darkies” knew their place and he, Bertie Wooster, was a laughing stock at the Club. Alas, now he is old and the empire is no more.
Bug-eyed bitch.

How imperiously delightful. A joy, as always.
His face makes my knuckles itch.
It is decidedly discomfiting that I find myself standing alone to emit my most hearty, Harrumph!
Nonetheless, stand I shall, and like the last bull elephant my grandfather slew in Kenya, I cry for the chorus: HARRUMPH!
He’s got “Marty Feldman Eyes”…
I’ve always liked the version with Jack Lemmon and Sandy Dennis, but but I’ll have to see this John Cleese version. I can just picture him trying to write the police chief’s name on his little soiled pad. Did they leave in the part where he breaks a tooth and talks with a lisp?
My apologies to John Cleese. I always thought his portrayals of pompous, idiotic upper-class British jackasses had to be an exaggeration.
Never mind Monty Python, this jerk is the reincarnation of Kenneth Gladney! How long before he’s on TV in a wheelchair, complaining about police brutality? Meanwhile, I’m sure he was just as concerned on behalf of all the dirty filthy hippy protesters. Not.
puravida,
That is nearly a perfect comment…hilarious.
