Ah, politicians, you have to love the way they just can’t bring themselves to give a Yes/No answer.
“Would you like jam on your toast, dear?”
“Well, darling, I appreciate the offer but my response must take into account prevailing conditions at the breakfast table and the cost/benefit analysis vis-a-vis my lardy waistline.”
“Would you like the fucking jam or not?”
“No, no, don’t pressure me - it will have to wait until it has gone through the committee stage.”
“I want a divorce.”
“Divorce is a judgemental term. We prefer, ‘spousally challenged.’ What… what are you doing with the bread knife?”
