- It reeks more of mr verge's rank imaginings than mr edgar's normally sober observations but it is the latter, yesterday, who prompted my vision of coalitionees actual going rotten, hacking with blades at themselves and at each others septic limbs, their rottenness made flesh. I thought I should share it with the old dancing queen, himself. I am sure he won't give a flying pirhouette.email to cablev@parliament.uk

- Dear Minister
This is how people speak of you:
- ........The cognitive dissonance in the minds of Cable, Clegg et al. must be of a mind-destroying magnitude. There is a fellow in the States who, while wandering in the wilderness, got caught in a landslide: his arm was trapped under a large boulder. After 6 days trapped, he cut off his own arm with a knife, not, he claims, to save his life - he thought he would die anyway - but because the stench of the decaying flesh so repelled him. It can't be long for Cable, now.
Yours,
Ishmael Smith

Thus we end our Valentine Day Broadcast. Next: an exlusive interview with Mammon entitled 'a bumper harvest in the USSR,... what?...sorry, in the UK'
Poetry Mr I; wasted on the old queen.
Ouch! But a bravura communication. How thick a hide would one need to merely shrug that off? I guess we will find out.
Never fear, Smith is here.
Bravo, sir.
A most satisfying broadside.
Hurray!!
Poor old Vince, eh? Who'd be poor old Vince. All that cheating and lying, all that shit eaten, and for what? Was it for this that clay grew tall?
Direct hits in the magazine that should blast this pathetic old hulk from the water. It won`t but don`t cease fire.
As an aside, and to mark the last witness being called to the Iraq Inquiry, Mr Mongoose, given your quotation from Owen's poetry, may I mention Britten's War Requiem. If you have not yet heard it, please wait patiently for a live performance by a reliable set of performers, and go to weep silently for "The pity of war, the pity war distilled." One of the greatest choral works of the Twentieth bloody Century, I suggest.

It's a loose connection to Cable, but it's the same sort of 'moral elasticity' that would see us into war, yet again, to fritter away more blood and treasure than, even, we lost in Iraq.
Sometimes you just have to tell them how it is.
I shall keep an ear to the ground for it, Mr Anonymous.
If you can make it, and perhaps catch a couple of museums while you're all there, Mr M, this would be one to go for. Don't leave it too long, though:

Thank-you, Mr Anonymous, I - we - will be there, if I am spared. The IWM needs doing and there are acres yet of the Brit to see.
