Floella Benjamin enobled

The list of new peers has been announced.

Cranmer could take issue with quite a few - like John Maples (for services to resignation timing); Shireen Ritchie (for services to being Guy's mother, Madonna's mother-in-law and manipulating Conservative candidate selection); Sir Ian Blair (for services to incompetent policing); Quentin Davies ( for services to ratting); John Prescott (for services to his secretary)...

But Floella Benjamin?

Baroness Benjamin of the Square Window?

Oh, please.
