The axe men came

What is it with these coalition ministers?

In one of those jokey sections of a Times interview Danny Alexander was asked: Axe or scalpel?

He replied: Axe. I’ve often chopped wood at home.

Would we have voted for them if we had known about this secret vice which he shares with the prime minister?

And if they are so keen on woods & trees why did they blunder into such a mess about forests?
