Alliss is not only a member of the flog'em then chop 'em tendency, he also has forthright views on incarceration.
Alliss was not hindered by being surrounded by some fairly tame professionals.
A similar line of attack could be used to defuse Alliss, a man whose brain is so addled by a quarter of a century of turning left on aircraft that he has been reduced to bragging that Curtis Strange 'is not clever enough to best me'.

 Anyone for Tee? - the Home of the Ordinary Golfer
The 'King Peter’ was unveiled at an allotment little more than a chip away from the Brocket Hall course, 20 miles north of London, which Mr Alliss designed.
He said that HRH Prince Charles came close to receiving a similar honour in recognition of some of his wackier philosophies but 'half baked' was deemed not to qualify as an official potato name by the Council.

 Sport | Peter Alliss: Golf legend or liability?
Introducing me to his "bitch" Buffy, it appears for one terrifying moment as if Alliss is about to parody gangsta-rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard, or pay homage to a foxy young Vampire Slayer, in a desperate attempt to fight the increasingly insistent accusation that he is a blinkered old fogey holding back modern broadcasting.
Alliss, with a photographer to please and a new book to promote, is still enough of an old pro to slip into some serious nose-to-nose action with the lovely Buffy.
But Alliss rebuts the suggestion that he was outraged by Ian Poulter's Union Jack trousers or the sight of Jodie Kidd playing alongside Colin Montgomorie at St Andrews last week.
