What a holler would ensue if people had to pay the minister as much to marry them as they have to pay a lawyer to get them a divorce. ↗

The responsibility of a minister is to step aside when there is a criminal investigation of the department. That protects the propriety of Parliament and of responsible government. ↗

Once, when a British Prime Minister sneezed, men half a world away would blow their noses. Now when a British Prime Minister sneezes nobody else will even say 'Bless You'. ↗
