That was from the Daily Mail and is therefore most unlikely to
be true, expressing it as politely as I can.Don't knock the Daily Mail - without it there would be no oppopsition in
this country.

I think that sums them up rather well. One could add
pettiness and distortion as well. Doesn't "Mad Mel" Philips write for
them? What an inflammatory lunatic she is!

The Daily Wail.

Wasn't that the paper that tried to take over from another Labour
government shortly after WW II? Whichever that was, I imagine it gave a
lot of impetus to the various high profile aliens who own most of the
British news media these days.

But to get back to the OP; it can't be all that bad a thing to have the
Muppet Office privatised can it? At the moment it is neither one thing
or the other. Or rather, it is pretty crap at being both.

Indeed, but the sig sep is two dashes AND A SPACE. Without the space
it's just another part of the text.

Just look at the OP's sig sep, then your quote of it to see what I mean.

I think I first heard similar to this in "Yes, Prime Minister" back in the
80's. Might even still have it on ancient video somewhere...!

You did. I am unsure whether it was original or a quote.
Probably the former.

I do. I also have it on DVD but no DVD player!

It was shown in last night's 30 best political comedies programme on
