MEET THE ELITE (1): LORD LEBEDEV OF HAMPTON AND SIBERIA

What the English people have got to recognise is that most of their upper class and ruling elites are foreign and always have been. 

The present Prime Minister is basically a blonde Turk. Most of those proceeding him were Scots (Cameron, Brown, Blair, Douglas-Hume, MacMillan), circus folk (John Major), or Irish (Callaghan). Then there is the present cabinet, which is overwhelmingly Indian. And don't get me started on the Royal Family, which is more German than an Oompah band in a Volkswagen factory. 

So, it is no surpirse to see Evgeny Lebedev elevated to the country's peerage. Lebedev is the son of an ex-KGB, billionaire "beneficiary" of Russia's extremely corrupt post-Soviet economy (yes, we are extremely careful how we phrase things here at Trad News). 

As reported by The Moscow Times:

Queen Elizabeth II has granted Russian-British media mogul Yevgeny Lebedev the title of “Baron of Hampton and Siberia,” according to the British government’s official journal of record The Gazette.

The British monarch conferred a lifetime peerage to Lebedev, 40, after his longtime friend Prime Minister Boris Johnson nominated him in July. Reports suggested that Lebedev’s introduction into the House of Lords met a delay over his request to include “Moscow” in his title and the need for London to make a formal request to the Russian government.

According to the Gazette, the extravagant businessman's full title will be “Baron Lebedev, of Hampton in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames and of Siberia in the Russian Federation” when he enters the House of Lords.

Of course, the Queen, who is German, had nothing to do with this, as she is just a rubber stamp for the UK Prime Minister, Boris "Turk" Johnson.

Lebedev is one of Johnson's special croney friends, having used his enormous media power -- he owns the Evening Standard, The Independent and the TV channel London Live -- to boost the bumbling Brexiteer political opportunist's career since he was Mayor of London. 

There are persistent rumours that he is a "gay," which are not just based on how well he trims his beard. But if he is, he is definitely "old school," as being openly gay would harm his still extensive business interests in Russia. The shadow of suspicion hanging over his sexuality however just reinforces the fact that he is yet another member of Britain's elite who has nothing in common with its people and a murky agenda all of his own.
