Change of topic, as this reminded me of something I noticed this morning, just in passing.

Mr Buckby...criticised the government for failing to agree a consistent strategy on Europe and then sticking to it. "One speech every six months does not make a campaign," he said.
(Hmmm, thought I.)

For sticking to the consistent strategy that they hadn't agreed on (or to)? Perhaps the article should read

The latter is, I admit

I see your point.
I sort of sped over that, as it was the "make a campaign" vs "a campaign make" that leapt out at me, but it rather confirms that the first writer/sub/whatever wasn't paying enough attention.

Yeah, I was a kid then. I laughed myself silly first time I saw a cow drop one in the snow.

I hate having to put on a show of being mean, but it seems the only way to avoid people being mean to you these days is to be mean yourself.

The way I learnt it was 'One swallow doth not a summer make'. What oral *** has to do with it, I don't know.
