From the Sunday Times‘ review of ‘Back From The Brink’:

To relive all this is to marvel anew at how many gifted individuals a party could absorb without grasping the single important point — that great swathes of Britain thought the Conservatives were indifferent to their needs and instincts. Politicians can be extremely slow beasts.

The Wrongulator is no ordinary calculator, its actually the world’s worst calculator as it never gives the right answer, ever!  If your calculator has been exchanged for this one then every single calculation you’ve entered in it has been wrong. It is perhaps the cruelest practical joke you could inflict on your office colleague and the chances are, without being told, they’ll probably never guess….well not before it’s too late anyway! Mwhahahaha!

One suspects that these have been in active use for some time now.

Dear Angela,

I am under the age of 50 and it has always baffled me and my friends why so few people raised the alarm about child abuse in Ireland. Some, including journalists working on papers at that time, plead ignorance.

But if you (and presumably the aunties on all the other papers) were hearing of allegations of the “agony” going on in schools and families and whatnot did you not pass these on to the guards or, at the very least, your own paper’s news desk?

Also, can you love the same person twice?

Thank you,

Bodger
