With the new editor Roger “But my biggest mistake of all is probably that of being a terrible old right-winger trying to look after one of Britain’s premier liberal papers.” Alton starting in a couple of weeks, we probably won’t see to many more in the future. source
Unfortunately, Gordon Brown seemed much more at ease with Bush at their news conference, producing some of the same old sycophantic twaddle that his predecessor did.
A new image along these lines a little later.
but in the meantime, a repeat (with a bit of a change) :
