Yes, this theatrical could go on for some time, in fact may only be superseded by Agatha Christie's 'Mousetrap'. Myself I can't feel even a modicum of sympathy for The Rt Hon Cameron. He only has himself to blame, for trying to pull a fast one. It the media and populace in general are giving him a hard time *boo-hoo* so be it. It was all purely self-inflicted.  'Oh what a tangled web weave, when first we practice to deceive'. .

'An absolute arrogant shower, the lot of them'.

Nail on head there, aernethril. To quote good old Terry-Thomas: "You’re an absolute shower". (Although I like yours better). That indefinable air of untrustworthiness.

Anyway, my gran always said that you should never trust a man with thin lips.
