There seems to have been quite a few problems with propagation
recently.

Be thankful I didn't suggest what else they are reputed to have done...
But I believe they're called football players now!

I daresay there'll be a more of them around in a few months as the
general election hoves into view on their horizons. Disappointing for
them that Lords' reform won't be finished by then, I expect plenty will
have been hanging around for their tickets upstairs so they need never
fight an election again. But there must be plenty of MPs of both parties
not looking forward to having to defend their votes in favour of war.
