Blur denies spin

In an exclusive interview with Adenews, Tiny Blur rejected claims that there is too much spin in government these days. "We all drip-dry our trousers," he said. "If we do spin, it is on the short cycle economy setting for minimum environmental impact."
His comments follow intense media speculation that white goods performance is dominating government thinking. "We focus on policies," Mr Blur stressed. "For example, we have a new policy on dishwasher power ratings which will revolutionise housing, transport, education and the national health service, but mostly the labels which appear on dishwashers."
