  • Speaking from his hotel room, a British businessman, who did not want to be named for security reasons, told BBC News he had pushed the furniture against the door for protection. He said he had heard gunshots, blasts and people running along the corridors throughout the night. "It's not the most pleasant of experiences," he said. "I suppose it's a question of British stiff upper lip."
  • Exactly the kind of article that should lead to bad journalists being rounded up and shot.

I meant the one about about young men who aren't liberal having no heart, and old men who aren't conservatives having no brain.

Although I guess as a chick I get to do as I please...

(But I'll never read the Daily Mail)

I wondered as I posted it whether it was actually Churchill, but as it was quite late I couldn't be bothered checking.
