Mogg's idea would have done a lot of good for the country

it would have made a real difference to a lot of people

well - people like him anyway

and why choose Liverpool

Mogg probably hadn't even noticed it at the time!!

Was there actually? Nobody ever seems able to point to it. Presumably it's happened by now?
