PM Silent over Leak of Future ‘Gaffes List’

(Britain’s warlike prowess.)

No word yet from shy British Prime Minister, Mr. X (as the ‘Press’ have dubbed this enigmatic gent) following Saturday’s leak in the Mail-on-Sunday of up to twenty future gaffes and slip-ups.

The internationally damaging faux pas were scheduled to be made over the next ten years at venues ranging from meetings with important--but excitable--allies, to keynote addresses.

Fortunately for the reticent PM, his unintended honesty has gone largely unseen, owing to the small circulation of these papers among Britons, who find their pettiness off-putting. But the straight-talking is said to include likening an Israeli prison camp to a Prison Camp, and being accidentally realistic about Britain’s warlike prowess.

A high-ranking source, Lord Caramadoc, who did not wish to be named, said, “Obviously these off-the-cuff remarks will need rethinking now.”

But he was quick to assure would-be critics that new blunders would be found in time.
