(Jill Pay as the Sergeant under speaker Martin, tell most of the story right there doesn't it). Then they should go on to hound that spokesperson for the vicious and disgusting campaign which was launched against Elizabeth Filkin. I sometimes wonder if the Telegraph has missed the point in all its self aggrandising coverage.
