Smoking con banned: "shambolic"

Délicieux bit of dictionary whipping by the normally staid Daily Telegraph.

And what about that accompanying graphic?

Dear old pictures ed probably dismissed that smidgeon of poudre as Johnson's^® Baby Talc spilled from m'lady's handbag.

Likeliest caption is:

"Soddez çela pour une alouette - I'm jolly well stubbing this cig out right here on the laquered table.

Bloody fags, wrecking my line of coke."

Language galore:

• Wrangling rifts
• That lovely word, Shambolic
• Flunked
• Struggled to salvage
• Confused
• Time for Blair to tell Reid [Hewitt's predecessor as Health Secretary ] to "butt out"
• "Outrageous that one rogue Cabinet Minister [Reid] can stray way beyond his brief and stomp around Whitehall trying to wreck the most important public health reform for 30 years."
