Coup de Twat

A friend who works in Parliament* tells me that in the cubby-holes of power the abortive Hewitt-Hoon plot of yesterfortnight is referred to as the Coup de Twat.

Try saying it aloud.

This goes to show that those politcojournalisty types can all use English rather marvellously. They're just shy about showing it in public.

Thanks for that

*Don't for a second think this narrows it down: almost everybody I know/am related to/have been out with/deal crack to works in Parliament.

P.S. I promise to write something tomorrow that isn't obscene.
