Absolute codswallop. How can being totally wrong be seen as a vindication?
You clearly have a long and successful career aheadof you as a politician.
Perhaps you don't remember what you wrote back in December.

Now the presence of the laugh on the Love and Anger 12" clearly
proves it has absolutely nothing to do with The Fog. Whatever the
labels say about mixing (I do not have then yet to check the wording
or whether anything else in the mix is different) the laugh has been
placed with Love and Anger. Therefore you (and many others) were wrong.
So why not admit it - you know you will feel better afterwards :-)

Be seeing you,
