A Message From a Fridge Magnet

ship_rough_weather_cruising.jpgSome visiting friends wanted to see the shop in the House of Commons. One of the items on sale was a fridge magnet which said “Politicians complaining about the press, are like captains complaining about the sea.” I pointed this out to a Labour MP, who suggested that it could be a farewell present to Tony Blair. Truly it is the ultimate spin for a Prime Minister who has been at the epicentre of the greatest political spinning operation in our history, to have made such a fatuous observation.

However, the wonderful thing about our Tony is that he probably believed it.

    A quote from the great Enoch Powell, I believe. Nice to see the old boy back even if it’s on a fridge magnet.
