An occasional series of headlines in the form of a question to which the answer is No

John Rentoul has been running an occasional series based on headlines to which the answer is “no”. These include:

He’s the outcast bishop who denies the Holocaust - yet has been welcomed back by the Pope. But are Bishop Williamson’s repugnant views the result of a festering grudge against Marks & Spencer?

No.

Is This Atlantis?

No.

And today’s

Is Gordon Brown Insane?

No.

John suggests that the accusation of madness when you are in disagreement with a politician is “a standard refuge of the over-expressive commentator”, but it’s far more common than that.
