And a Partridge in a Pear Tree...
Spotted: Three ex Chancellors of the Exchequer walking through Portcullis House together - Messers Howe, Lawson & Lamont. Can't think where they may have been...
Sorry, O/T, but I've just seen Brown on the BBC News at 1pm. We had just seen pictures of the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, then Brown appears. His first words: "I think I speak for the whole world when I say..." Is there no end to the man's megalomania? By the way, at the risk of sounding paranoid, I notice that just about every news bulletin on radio begins with: "Gordon Brown ....." Any reference to Cameron is negative, as in: "Mr Cameron was under fire today..." "The Conservative leader was forced to defend himself from..." Good old BBC!
It's not paranoia on your part (Bird @ 1:54 pm), it happens all the time.
Whenever Cameron makes a statement of any kind, you can be pretty sure that the BBC will report it along the lines of "David Cameron was attacked for saying... " rather than simply "David Cameron said... "

W.V. rativat. Is it a comment on the PBR?
Hopefully they were with at the Drinkers Alliance session. I am sure none of them want to see the end of the pub.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they were discussing public pensions and how they might set an example.
ReplyDeleteUnlikely
Messers? M'Lords, surely?
