Solomon Pepper- News Development Specialist
Solomon
Pepper was born early on in the 20th Century as a result
of his mother, a matchbox seller from Covent Garden, bumping
into his father, a vaudeville actor and all-round bounder from
Westminster Square. As a young man he drifted into journalism
following a short career in the RAF as a camp bookmaker
and test pilot.
Pepper made
a name for himself when, as a foreign correspondant, he
single-handedly rolled 150 La Palma de Ora cigars whilst fighting
CIA operatives during the Bay of Pigs invasion. Not only did
he win plaudits for defending Castro's Cuba, but he was also trumpeted
for helping the Republic's economy in the process.
Fifteen year later, as the Washington correspondant for the
now defunct Global Tribune, Pepper uncovered a Democrate
Party plot to assassinate Gerald Ford which would have seen a
brainwashed Dean Martin wrap a golf club around the President's
head at the 1976 Bob Hope Classic. Pepper would have
saved the day had the FBI asked him to keep quiet. Six months
later Jimmy Carter became the 39th President of the United States.
Now in the twilight of his years Pepper spends his days
embibing large quantities of malt whisky and jotting irrelevent
news stories from his favourite chair at the Raffles Gentlemans
Club, London.
