Have to give them some time to get back into practise. According to my mate in the Artilley they've not had enough budget for practice firing in the last two years. “Simultaneously, he should say, he dispatched Army artillery teams into the Home Counties broker belt.”

I am intensely relaxed about senior New Labour politicians experiencing appalling pain.

You decide. Because I did notice that Mandelson is up for a 'procedure' for kidney stones. For one, I'm impressed by the speed with which he's getting medical attention - it's not normally a life threatening condition. But I think the main thing to bear in mind here is that kidney stones are mind-buggeringly painful. To the extent of making you puke every couple of minutes, even through the morphine. The official spokesman significantly understates the case when he refers to "some pain". This could be good news for the nation, in that when the renal colic is making you howl, you literally can't think about anything else. Such as - I don't know - implementing the recommendations of the banking lobby, wholesale, like. Now I’m not that kind of low mongrel who’d wish suffering on another; or maybe I am. You decide.

Having their much-wanked over possessions occupied like this would be even more demeaning for them. Oh, and it would help out the homeless too. Bonus. Charles, there's a homeless in our Range Rover!
