    We realised that Diplomacy and a top Secret Service are the keys to continued success .
    So we developed the best service in the world in the former area and joint shared authority with Mossad in the latter .
    The fact that comedy initiative and cutting edge performance , plus success in international sport , are synonymous with Team GB , clinches matters .

    Ah. But you are unravelling like a badly-knitted scarf.

    Meanwhile, we share the "crumbs" with our Chinese cousins.

    BTW, I would not rely on that nitwit Haig to achieve anything useful. Especially in dealing with the French.

    Don't poo on it. Remember what happened in 1814. They burnt your house down for doing something similar.

    Well, it worked for the Reichstag, so a nice Cristo makeover might be in order for Big Ben.

    No need. Big Ben no longer strikes in tune.

    How does a badly knitted scarf unravel?
    As for Hague . Probably the greatest Parliamentarian you will ever see . Regularly ripped Blair into pieces and spat him out with contempt ------ and like him or hate him , Bliar was a brilliant orator .
    Under rate William at your peril .
    One of my heroes . With true wit and considerable humour -- a wicked combination to combat, as Chris has found out the hard way .

    Depends rather on how it was put together. Knit one, purl two is an especially unravelable combination.

    Ah, Hague, not Haig. Haig was that other genius from the Western front.

    I always know what the fellow is going to say. And the tone of its saying. It's all very frustrating.

    Chris has exchanged diplomatic courtesies with the remnants of the British Empire?

    We laugh at you, Cary. All of us.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.
