Let go fore and aft! Cast off the Cable!
« on: December 22, 2010, 11:24:01 AM »
Vince has been indiscreet. Some good fun for the headline writers today.

Torygraph Humiliated Cable Stripped of media role
(A nice pun there 'Cable stripped' ~ used by several other papers)

Others:
Cable's 'nuclear option': The fallout (Reuters)

Vince Cable Loses Out In News Corp 'War' (Sky News)

Has Vince Cable gone completely wireless? (Twitter tweet)

Humiliated Vince Cable hangs on after being stripped of media powers (Evening Standard)

And so on. The daft old fool has really dropped one this time.

I am still waiting for "Telegraph - Cable fault", "Cameron isolates rogue Cable", "Cable goes underground" and "Cable stitched up by Telegraph"  whistle:
