Dig For Victory?

The BBC’s Nick Robinson has called it spot on. Yesterday wasn’t a matter of burying bad news. It was:

fly tipping so much that one scarcely knows what to begin with

Let’s consider, as Loyd Grossman would say, the evidence.

• The 832-page Stevens Report into Princess Diana’s death.
• Ongoing investigations in Ipswich murder hunt.
• The closure of 2,500 post offices.
• The end of the Serious Fraud Squad’s inquiry into BAe and Saudi Arabia
• Proposals to build four new runways at British airports
• Discussions about giving prisoners the right to vote
• Plans to limit the Freedom of Information Act
• Prime Minister goes to Europe for key summit
• Oh, and he’s questioned by police for selling honours.

All in all, a busy day’s work.
