All nematoid aliens, branch narcissi, are able 'teleport' via worm holes.
If Cameron carries on behaving the way he has been since becoming PM, like not being at all embarrassed about having crooks in his cabinet, lying through his teeth about what his policies will be, lying about the existence of non-existent "treaties", etc. etc..., but getting all annoyed about whether the sight of a royal boob is a good idea or not...
... The chances are that whichever way he arrives, he might end up leaving arse first.
Like many Conservatives he's likely to 'come in the back door'.
His nickname IS "thrasher", so one can well imagine him being interested in rear entrances.

THIS IS ALL TOTAL BOLLOCKS
Mitchell has merely pointed out what the rest of us have to suffer under.
The supposedly-Peelite "police" have become our masters, ordering us around in fits of arrogance, jobsworthiness, and petty spite.
This was especially obvious during the fascism, oops, olympics.
Now, they are moving in on the politicans, as well as the rest of us mere plebians.
MetPlod need a sharp reminder of who is actually supposed to be in charge!
Contrarian as ever Greg, but I do have some sympathy for your view.
I was always told you weren't supposed to bicycle on the pavements, so why were they insisting that he go through the pedestrian entrance rather than the road entrance?

GT's point of view is quite valid and saves me the trouble of typing. Same view is held in The Times today by Hugo Rifkind. Our police must be ecstatic that some other controversy has diverted attention away from Hillsborough, Stephen Lawrence, Charles de Menzes, Ian Tomlinson, known Pakistani sex grooming in Rotherham, phone hacking etc etc etc.
As Rifkind points out, these "one-offs" don't look one-off any more. They look like institutional failings; and to the man in the street, they look deliberate.

He will be parachuted in carrying a deceased corgi and dressed as Mary Poppins.
Other newspapers & commentators have now taken up the ... "Police being bullying jobsworths" meme, I'm glad to say.
