Journalism and accounting seem not to mix at The Daily Mail, which is a significant problem for Mail journalists, as they often like to examine, in the minutest detail, public finance mistakes – and expose those mistakes to general and widespread derision. Just imagine the glee that the Mail would exhibit as it jumped all over a story where the finances were under-budgeted by 30%. Oh, wait… Someone needs to remind the Mail journalists how many days there are in a week.
Unfortunately, no-brainers aren’t the exclusive domain of the Daily Mail. I pulled this one off the BBC News website. The clipping shows a photograph of possibly the most hated former British Prime Minister since Sir Robert Walpole took up the title, 289 years ago. As if it were some kind of herculean feat, the BBC asks the question: ‘How do you sum up a life story in two words?’, next to Mr Blair’s photograph. Oh, in his case, that’s really easy, ‘War Criminal’.
There are loads of ways you could describe Big Tone’s life in two words, my favourites would be:
Financial overspend
Terminal liar
Horrific wife
Nest Featherer
Yank Kissass
Satan’s Bitch
Obviously, the Daily Mail have adopted the metric week.
LOL! that was bloody funny vicola – I would also like to add:
