Literary Condemnation

It isn't often that the immortal bard (William Shakespeare) is deliberately misquoted to great effect in a newspaper headline, but the Post Newspaper has certainly pulled it off this week - perhaps even better than the Editor thought, if you read the full quotation from Hamlet.

The full quotation is of the Ghost, commenting on his own death:
Murder most foul as in the best it is
But this most foul, strange and unnatural

There is, indeed, something most strange and unnatural about the combined obsession of Messrs Barnett and Simpson with their local government so-called reform.
