The government is in ‘meltdown’
THURSDAY
The government is in ‘meltdown’ and we are marking the occasion with lots of glacier jokes (Steve not amused) and by gazing at our collective navel. Much argument about who should ‘be in the lead’, and whether letting prisoners out is worse than sleeping with your secretary. Or, indeed, sleeping with prisoners.
Still, at least one good thing has come from the ‘lags and shags’ debacle, as Nigel likes to call it: Poppy is ecstatic. DD is finally ringing her in the middle of the night. Thank heavens. It was becoming painful to listen to her whining on about the lack of intrusive phone calls demanding obscure crime statistics, ‘Well, he did with all his other researchers’ etc.
FRIDAY
‘DD wants to kill someone’, according to Poppy. She sounds a little afraid. Apparently he rang her in the dead of night and started raving so badly that she put the phone down, hid under the covers and pulled a sickie today.
