The Armed Forces, the Police, an army of aides and a full wetsuit were not enough

The Prime Minister’s wife also had to strap a string of rosary beads to her wrist, because superstition and a magic talisman (please note this has nothing to do with actual religion) will save her from whatever three military and police vessels, Armed Forces and police personnel, aides and a full wetsuit can’t manage.

How very progressive. This is exactly the kind of mindset that leaves people wide open to irrational talk like that of Nigel Farage – and her husband.

One last point: if you really must wear a magic talisman, slip it into your wetsuit where nobody can see it, because when you wear your rosary beads like a friendship bracelet, you’re going to be accused of showing off.
