A letter from Hazel
Like Philip, I received an email from Hazel Blears yesterday selling the Queen’s Speech. Apparently the fact that the Labour Party have my email address makes me a ‘Labour Supporter’. If only recourse to the libel laws was available on legal aid.
Anyway, the email features a glaring typographical error. In the passage where Hazel says…
Today we announced the priorities for government and have shown we are taking the right long-term decisions for the future of our country.
…what it should have said, of course, was…
Today we announced the priorities for government and have shown we are taking the Right’s long-term decisions for the future of our country.
She probably dictated the letter and her PA made the understandable mistake of transcribing it incorrectly. Yes, that would explain it.

And another downside of signing petitions, taking part in Tony’s Big Dialogue of the Deaf or any other kind of citizen engagement is that they’ve got your e-mail address so Hazel Blears can send you these cheery messages.
