Now we will take no lessons

Hear ye, hear ye. Two more additions to the Banned List.

35. Headlines beginning “Now”, as in “Now You Pay for Prison Parties.”

36. “We will take no lessons on x from y.” Tedious bit of parliamentary polyfilla. Jeremy Hunt’s first answer at Culture, Media and Sport questions today began, “I can confirm that we have no plans to change the impartiality rules, but we will take no lessons on impartiality from the Opposition.”

Thank you, Stephen.
