“The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.”

It would be so petty to remember a thread from some months ago when somebody used 'Cemetry Gates' to suggest the intellectual bancruptcy of quoting other people's lines.

Doesn't Morrissey take people to task for plagiarism in that song rather than as you suggest? I've put it fully in quotation marks so there's no attempt at borrowing it for myself.

So no, not petty. Just inaccurate. [emoji106]

Morrissey does, but you didn't. If memory serves you said something like: quotations are overused and lazy and done to make the user look clever.

(Your accusation obviously touched a nerve, self regarding intellectual snob that I am. I would put an emoticon here to indicate that I'm just trying to pull your leg, but I think I said in the same discussion that I'm just too uptight to use them.)

"On Day One, the book claims that:-

Lynton Crosby, the pollster who guided the PM to electoral victory, privately thinks he is a ‘tosser’ and ‘posh ****’"

In other news, Bears spotted defecating in the woods......

I note with interest that the BBC are keeping very quiet about this story, just a small bit on the Papers section without showing the Daily Mail front page, opting instead to lead with the Daily Express's twice weekly story about dementia...
