Onwards and upwards.
Now can we consider the writ issued against The Guardian by solicitors representing a Mr Mueen-Uddin, "director of Muslim Spiritual Care Provision in the NHS, who was until recently vice-chairman of the East London Mosque and London Muslim Centre and was involved in setting up the Muslim Council of Britain". Who, morever, is doubtless an "all-round good egg", another one of the self-appointed great and good.
Phew!
Last week, The Guardian repeated a claim from a 1995 Channel 4 documentary, suggesting that "Mueen-Uddin is alleged to have been part of a group that abducted and 'disappeared' people. Witnesses at the time describe seeing him kidnapping a university professor and a journalist in Dhaka during the war."
Since the aforesaid all-round, good egg has the considerable financial backing of Jamaat-e-Islami, the Muslim Council of Britain and the East London Mosque/London Muslim Centre, The Guardian has withdrawn the contested paragraphs.

If there is anything less celebrity-like than Derek Draper, I've yet to find it.
