LGF reader “canadian lady” discovered a gem; a poem that I hereby dedicate to the Robert Fisks, the Justin Hugglers, the John R. Bradleys, and the John Pilgers (yes I know he’s an Ozzie but somehow he belongs) of this world:

The British Journalist

You cannot hope
to bribe or twist,
Thank God! the British journalist.

But, seeing what
the man will do
unbribed, there's no occasion to.

- by Humbert Wolfe
