I wish I could write like this
Now that the Tyrant Blair's Quisling Government of Collaboration with the Occupying Power from Brussels has arrogated to itself the privilege of locking up without trial anyone whom it does not like, it has regressed to the condition of the French Government in the years leading up to their Revolution, in which this power was inflicted by the hated lettre de cachet. It is no protection at all that, instead of allowing a Minister to sign the relevant documents, they can instead be signed by the Prime Minister's wife.

Yeah, quite right.

Thank God for small mercies: she presumably wouldn't sign without receiving some vast payment.
