OoooH! a veilded threat, (allegedly), (perhaps), (maybe).
Still liking you less than I used to, you still giving me reasons why I should like you even less than that.
Perhaps you are still overawed at being so close to the Queen, well bless, she has that effect on Royalists.

It's a trenching shovel, there are many different types, I would have thought a gardener would know that.

You still don't do any digging with it.
Spade = digging
Shovel = shifting

Nothing to do with blinkers Ken, tossed them away a long time ago, but when the MP starts sending threatening PMs I'm going to shout it from the rooftops

Advising people to beware of repeating potentially libellous hearsay is suddenly a threat?
God almighty, another spin doctor.

shov·el (sh v l) n.
1. A tool with a handle and a broad scoop or blade for digging and moving material, such as dirt or snow.
Be sure to send a postcard.
When you get to Australia.

I'll get there a lot quicker using a spade but if you'd prefer me to use a shovel I'll be around for quite a while....

It's the caring side of Labour.
It's for your own good.
They know best.
Allegedly.

Who needs tools, with you around?
You're doing a fine enough job already...with your gob.
Keep up the good work.

Its a pity the flaming MP hasn't better things to do, what you seem to forget and you can pass this onto the egomaniac mate, that I don't give a toss about politics and especially local politics, I've a lot better things to do with my time than getting in a peeing match with a self important backstabber.

Hey, I agree with you And I understand what you mean Have to admit though, that I didn't see a veiled threat ... it appeared to me to be pretty much unveiled; although it was clothed in a lot of bs words ... you know, "politician speak".
