Re Hung or Hanged ~ According to Fowler's Modern English Usage ..... Hanged is the past tense of the verb To Hang. Otherwise one would normally use Hung (as in "Taken from this place and hung by the neck until etc....."). On balance and since the deed has yet to be done I think "He should be Hung" is correct. Only after someone has done us that favour could we properly say "He has been Hanged ..... and a damned good job too"

So whatever happened to Hain. He has been very quiet. Do they have a special patio behind Number 10 for such folk?

Peter Hain is still banging on in the Welsh Press if nowhere else. This from 2 days ago.
