Stanley Johnson, father of Boris, as quoted in the Spectator when discussing the immigration "problem", with a telephoning journalist:
‘This immigration business is a (pause, cough) tricky one. It is very
important not to exaggerate the (cough) problem, but it is certainly
real. Here in Devon we have to cope with people who come from as far
afield as (cough) Somerset and even Wiltshire. I am having some
difficulty living down the fact that I was born in Cornwall.’
