I am a mole and I live in a hole

Yesterday, the House of Lords sat on moles. Hansard, as ever, has a record.

I present only a short extract:

Lord Lawson of Blaby: My Lords, is the Minister aware that it is a genuinely European question? My noble friend Lord Kimball mentioned the explosion of moles in England. My experience at my home in France is that there is a similar phenomenon there this year. It has never been as bad as it is this year, so what effort is the Minister making to get French support for this important derogation?

Lord Bach: My Lords, I have not yet made any attempt to get French support. Given the noble Lord's comments, I shall ensure that we are on to the embassy straight away.

Also, “velvet-clad monster” sounds like a euphemism from a Regency romance.

Oh yes, embarrassment should certainly be shared!
