"What?" I asked
"Fox, Lansley and now Letwin! What a bunch of geezers!" He grinned - as only a cat from No 11 can grin.
You have to agree, don't you? They are a right bunch of geezers. 'Tally Ho!' Fox is still running and almost being caught by the pursuing hue and cry of reporting hounds. Lansley still ploughs ahead, looking neither left nor right, in his haste to bring the NHS finally to its knees.
And now - we have the unedifying vision of the paunch of 'No More Please' Ollie Letwin bending over a bin in a London park looking for all the world like a regular bin dipper! The photos are displayed in the Mirror.
The article is entitled: Oliver Letwin caught throwing away secret papers in public bins. It is written by Andrew Gregory.

The article states:
The PM's blundering policy adviser was seen on five separate days throwing away sensitive correspondence on terrorism, national security and constituents' private details.
The Cabinet Office minister disposed of more than 100 papers in the security breach in a park near No 10.
One revealed how intelligence chiefs "failed to get the truth" on UK involvement in controversial terrorist interrogations.
The scandal will be a blow to his pal Mr Cameron.
It continues:
The papers he is dumping in waste bins around a park are highly-sensitive dealing with national security and terrorism and containing the private details of constituents.
The millionaire buffoon appears to show little concern for data protection – a subject he has previously warned others to be vigilant about – as he casually disposes of memos, briefing notes, emails and letters.
Andrew Gregory continues:
Bungling Mr Letwin appears to have broken the Government’s own policy for disposing of secret papers. Its official data security advice website warns: “Don’t casually throw away documents. Destroy them, preferably by using a shredder.”
Organisations identified in the dumped papers include the European Commission, MoD, Home Office, NHS, Treasury and the Met Police. And among the politicians named are Mr Cameron, Deputy PM Nick Clegg, and Chancellor George Osborne.
It seems to me that our 'No More Please' Letwin has some sort of compulsive disorder akin to constant hand washing - the Pontius Pilate act of trying to wash his hands clean of guilt. Well, our Ollie must have been a very naughty boy in his past life. He seems to have this urge - to get rid of papers - any papers - but especially papers and letters from work! Never mind the content - never mind the names - get rid of them!
Years ago - on what was the BBC Home Service - there was a regular comedy show in which a character regularly used to say: "What's it matter, ma dear, so long as you tear 'em up." One can only assume 'No More Please' Letwin didn't think you needed to 'tear 'em up' - just dump 'em!
What guilty secret has caused this urge to be rid of documents - never mind their source or value. The mind surely boggles as undoubtedly his is doing all the time!
Maybe 'No More Please' Letwin is a frustrated cleaner. Once before arriving in Downing Street, I lived next door to a man who regularly held a bonfire on Christmas morning. Why? To burn the envelopes from his Christmas cards and the papers wrapped around any presents! One wonders what he did for kicks after Christmas Dinner!
But levity aside - this is no laughing matter for 'Boy David' Cameron. First one then another of his old pals is causing huge embarrassment. Who can possibly be next?
I'm going off to St James's Park with Arturo. You never know who - or what - we'll find!
'Bye' from Arturo
'Bye' from me
