The former address, "reactionary drivel," was a P. G. Wodehouse gag that few ever understood to be a mildly self-deprecating joke. Drivel, perhaps, but not reactionary. Neither the Red Caps nor the Reds ever got it.

More Byzantine than Russian, Still... (A Russia series, 49) - poem

Theodora
There once was an empress, Theodora
Whose subjects began to bore her
They were too much at home
In the old Hippodrome
So she killed ‘em - they’re pushing up flora.
