- Probably some people actually believe this – I wonder if they would also believe it if the spokesman had announced cholera was being spread by blue aliens from the planet Zog and it was not the government's fault in any way at all.
- The only people who seem to be doing well are the government officials who drive around in large cars and live the life of luxury.
- Only once did we meet up with one particularly venomous police officer but, as all the papers for the car were in order, there was little that he could do.
