Well if you look back to message two - mine - or even Mr Red's opener, you'll see you weren't the first to stray off piste.

But if your perusal of the Telegraph began and ended during the short queue for milk in a paper shop, when you were also studying up to a dozen other newspapers' headlines, I can understand your confusion.

I certainly don't recall the DT's "polite version" of Asylum Seekers ate my Donkey". I DO recall hearing Robin Cook, when being interviewed by the Today programme about some health controversy during a general election, say in exaspertaion: "Don't take my word for it, read the Telegraph's account this morning."

It was my story, and no one summoned me to an office to be kicked, rebuked or sent off to political rehab.
