“Hmmm.”
“What?”
“Nothing is permanent in politics - it will take no more than one notification to change the name so calm down. We all want our day in court, so to speak, and …day”
“Speaking of a day in court, that’s what I was referring to when I asked if it was a bad news day. The Man Who Must Remain Nameless and Faceless was granted bail with no prospect of being released. I mean, what the…”
