Peter Mandelson was on The Today Programme at 7.51 AM http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_8353000/8353920.stm

Mediocre politicians are economical with the truth.
Great politicians, like Margaret Thatcher, tell the truth and are praised for doing so.
We should therefore praise Mandy for telling the truth, even if semi-inadvertently.
But my main point is this: if Brown were to resign on account of his bad writing and spelling (25 spelling mistakes, no less!) wouldn't that send a message to our liberal and progressive teaching establishment and do something towards raising standards in writing and spelling?

THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.
