    The lesson from the last time (the martyrdom of the blessed St Margaret of Grantham of sacred Falkland memory) is that to be able to use that argument to defend himself as PM Boris needs first to find a stalking horse and then develop a strategic tooth ache. In Boris's case a pantomime stalking horse would probably be appropriate. We know where there is one don't we children?

    Ah! Both parts of the horse plus a spare part right on cue (we Brits just love a cue). But it was all a bit too quick. Are we three or are we but one (or two perhaps)?

    A German would have written “we Brits love a queue” but then he would have been really snookered. It's repetition, hesitation and above all else deviation that we can't stand. Two out of three there, Think old chap.

    The question is why is this piece appearing in Mercopenguin, a British government propaganda organ supposedly devoted to America, South America and the “South Atlantic”?
