Our Lord, Nigel Havers, is to receive an Honorary Doctorate of Civil Law from Suffolk College, to celebrate the inspirational work He has done for our country, on this, the tenth anniversary of the Nigel Havers Alliance.

"This truly is a magical year for Nigel and for the party," said NHA Minister for Fun and political commentator, Matthew Corbett. "For ten long years Nigel has been fighting hard for the NHA. He is now finally getting some recognition for His efforts."

The ceremony is to be held on 31st Octhavers, and is said to be one of the biggest events of the year.

The news comes just two months after His marriage to fellow political activist, Georgiana Bronfman, this July. Ministers are warning of the kind of celebrations that occurred at the Queen's Golden Jubilee in 2002. "I don't think it would be prudent to underestimate the inevitable outpour of emotion that will fill the streets," said Corbett. "People have been waiting for a celebration of this kind for years."

The NHA was formed ten years ago, in response to the sane minority's outcry when Britain took leave of its senses and voted in New Labour. Ten years on and the political climate is very different: as Golden Brown takes over the reins of Tony Blair, the British public need some sort of sign that things really are 'about to get better'. The tenth anniversary of the NHA and the news of Our Lord's marriage to Georgiana have rekindled the flame of hope which has been flickering away for ten years. Well done, Nigel!
