Apologies (not heartfelt) to Mechanica McVey.

I promised myself from the beginning that this blog would be a simple factual account, no politics no name-calling.

Foolish man.

Of course it's going to be political - it IS political. 

But name-calling is beneath me.

I promise Ms. McVey that I shall withdraw the soubriquet... when she says something [in or (publicly) out of Parliament] which actually responds to what's been said to her, instead of reading from the script given to her.
