For Harper is an Honourable Man

Mark Harper, the minister for wog expulsion, has resigned over an unauthorised wog whom he employed as a cleaner. While he claims to have broken no law, he holds himself to a higher standard than lesser mortals and has therefore fallen on his sword in an apparently unprovoked fit of sanctimony. Harper, who achieved national fame as the flunkey charged with defending the Government's squalid little Powellite Pantechnicon stunt, has been duly informed that his resignation does him Daveybloke's idea of honour (a singularly high standard, no doubt), and that he will be jolly welcome to return to the front benches once the laughter has died down. Concerning the fate of the unauthorised wog, there seems as yet little information; it is not even clear whether Harper had the courtesy to send a warning van to her address.
