This Tweet is so nice and unexpected I think that I need to share it:

Stephen Pollard@stephenpollard

I must say really is superb. Tweets and blog posts are always really worth reading.

Stephen himself is no slouch when it comes to good writing – including resorting as needed to the old trick of using the first letter of a new line to make a not-so-secret message. This has been known to happen in FCO telegrams too, of course.
