"And your listeners will very well, John, that insofar as the National Rail is concerned, I believe, and you'll find that the Prime Minister (as well as the whole cabinet) agrees with me on this, that there is, and I make no apologies for this and see no reason why I should!"
Those honest citizens who hear your words
That, like the proverbial weasel feign to say
Those things thou durst not state straightforwardly
But cowardly hint from shadows, nods, and winks;
Those honest citizens, I say, will not be gulled
By cavill'd slur: you speak of National Rail;
Now, in so far as National Rail's the gist
'Tis my oft-stated view, and shared by He
Who, trusted with the helm of this great Ship
Supported by his Cabinet, sails us true;
Thus stated forthrightly, it needs no bush;
Apology would make it seem I lack
That confidence you seek to undermine:
Be off, thou wormtongued enemy of mine!

je ne sais quoi

The journey was okay.
