Criticism will be lost on the likes of WC Jaded but the absent punctuation makes such 'inglish' all the more feeble.

By the same token, one could suggest that Rayner, being a friend and member of the same political party as Harriet Harman, may have alleged links with PIE. The biter bit?

Boring and predictable as usual Melvin. I'm sure in your own sad little world you think you are hilarious.

I have often asked the Mail, "Do you have proof readers for your articles?". Answer came there none.

I would suggest that one's actual politics would have a bearing on whether this is a slur or not. If your position is that taxes are too high and that the government should curtail spending and cut taxes, then you could reasonably claim that legal tax avoidance that makes use of tax havens is a good thing.

Another classic in the Cambridge News last week about a report from the Enviroment Agency about the Thames Estuary and coastal regions, which did not mention Cambridge at all, but then conflated it with another "report" from "Climate Crisis" based on nothing much, and a "study" done by some estate agents.

And the classic headline "most of the country will be underwater by 2100 according to the Environment Agency"

Regarding Angela Raynor, if I knew how to spell vacuous I would say that is a pretty good definition of her, but I'll stick with empty headed.

Good point!

"Answer came there none."

I'm not buying any scuba gear just yet!

"...if I knew how to spell vacuous I would say that is a pretty good definition of her, but I'll stick with empty headed."

I wonder if she'll survive Starmer's Bonfile of the Inadequates?
