First Rule Of Holes, Harry...

...when you're in one, stop digging!
The Leyton MP was ridiculed by his political opponents after asking the Government to issue a warning about kissing and the “two-cheek greeting” as it spreads swine flu.
And by bloggers...
But in a statement issued by his office this evening, a spokeswoman for Mr Cohen hit back at his critics.

She said: “They are obviously ignorant of ethnic minority customs and customs in other countries such as eastern European countries, France and in Abu Dhabi.“
Que..? What the hell has that got to do with the price of tea in Leyton?

And if you wondered where Harry got his idea from, wonder no further:
“Harry has been watching on the television and they have been issuing public warnings about not kissing and that is why Harry recommended that the Government here do the same.“
Oh, priceless..! If Harry was in Texas and heard a tornado warning, would he pick up the phone to the Weather Centre and demand that Brits too should be advised to get themselves to the storm cellar?

Harry, when you picked a PR person, you didn't really get value for (our) money, did you?

That's simply priceless.

Great, isn't it? Perhaps this PR lark isn't such a difficult job after all?

I mean, I can open my mouth and put my foot in it with the best of them. How come I don't get paid for it too?
