    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    I really, really hope that a load of their stock options which were worth millions are now practically worthless.

    An enemy that wishes to die for their country is the best sort to face - you both have the same aim in mind.
