The poor Minister is sat in the bar, drowning his sorrows following the Governments defeat. He's a lovely man. Who can blame him. His heart cannot have been in it this afternoon.

 

No one can ever remember when the Government was defeated on an opposition day, and some have been here for a very long time.

 

My Blackberry has just buzzed to announce that the Government is to make a statement tonight regarding the Ghurkhas.

 

But where is the Minister?

 

Oh yes, that’s right. Whoops, this should be interesting J

Surely it will be given by "Jackboots Smith" - yes?

Official statement: Sorry, the Minister will be unable to appear tonight, he's got swine flu. Or maybe he's just a useless swine. Whatever.

"The poor Minister is SITTING in the bar..... " Please! I know it's being pedantic, but I think it is reasonable to expect correct English from those who aspire to govern us.
