No problems, BWM. It permits me to expand on something (here's one I misdrafted earlier), while Herself watches Angela Rayner's Wake And Autopsy Show on BBC News 24:
All summer, we've had ManFrog's and Agent Orange's one-downmanship ploys dominating the news cycle in Air Strip One; now the Meeja is suddenly fixated on poor Angela, to the exclusion of Outrage of the Week from Washington, and even the atrocities in Gaza. Curious: anyone would think it was all carefully timed to throw gravel into the Downing Street gearbox, right at the beginning of a difficult Parliamentary session. But then I'm forgetting the Pavlovian tendencies of headline writers: "Hold the front page! a Labour politician farted before the Queen!"*
.... I'd best leave it there awhile.
