Evil Consumes Itself

Our brilliant and incorruptible Minister of Home Entertainment has decided to end her career in the same spirit of ignominy which has characterised her whole ID-carding, detention-without-trialling, protester-kettling tenure, by embarrassing her boss with a pre-emptive announcement of departure. Fortunately, this has failed to deter the equally adorable Michael Savage, whom Agent Smith utilised as a headline emollient last month by publicly announcing that she had barred him from entering the country. Savage, a self-proclaimed Anglophile who doesn't know the difference between England and the United Kingdom, is still going ahead with his threatened lawsuit for defamation, in which it seems the defendant will be Agent Smith personally rather than the Ministry of Unfitness for Purpose. It is doubtless too much to hope that Agent Smith rather than the taxpayer will cover any damages or costs awarded against her; but you can't have everything.
