You’ve got to love Wilson Tuckey. Wilson sent a fax to the Prime Minister to ask him to quit, but then accidentally sends it to a good number of other backbenchers, too.
I’m trying to figure out how this can happen. Put the paper in, type in the number, press the big green button. I suspect that if this really was an accident, rather than a publicity stunt, then a member of staff probably misunderstood their instructions.
I’d love to know why politicians are still using fax machines for such correspondence. It’s just asking for the cleaner to pick it up at its destination and sell it to a journalist for some quick cash…
It could have had speed dial numbers pre-set. We’ve all called someone by mistake.
