As we all watch the country being mis-governed by toff-led privateers, incompetents and downright spivs the above headline might be considered to be 'le mot juste'.
But in fact the Parliament of Devils was that which convened in England in 1459 during the reign of the weak and ineffectual King Henry VI. He was a man of poor judgement who listened to reactionary profiteers and self-promoting advisers and chancers.
History will be kinder to Henry than to Dave.
