There hasn’t been a lot to smile, not to mention snort about, in the course of the 19 months of punishment inflicted on Britain by this poor authorities.
But we are able to all the time depend on the military of civil service pen pushers slavishly pumping out propaganda to brighten our days throughout this darkest of chapters for Britain.
