No-one saw it coming.
Journalists were reporting the battle in the House of Commons over the venue of the UK’s new ’super casino’. Bloggers were discussing Guido’s Newsnight piece on journalists’ relationships with politicians (set against a blogger’s position outside the system) and his subsequent kicking by a group of said journalists (i.e. here and here).
Then, with the speed of a zimmer frame traveling downhill with a tail wind, those cunning peers pounce. They killed the government’s casino plans irrespective of the super casino site and showing that any cosying-up to politicians the lobby correspondents have been doing it has plainly not been with the right politicians!
