You are wrong to bring politics into this - at least as far as I'm concerned. My assessment of sensationalism is the Torygraph's report on the matter. The article (behind paywall) does not go into the same rationale as Downquark, leaving it to the readers' imaginations.

Also you characterisation of this administration is true of any British government. They're all lying spinmasters.

The GE decided which bunch of spinmasters should govern us.

Right - that's straight now.

I am astonished and disappointed with your somewhat insulting remarks. If you read what I wrote (re-quoted above). Of course I recognise the need for honesty and all governments are liars when they've got an indefensible position to protect.
