Brian:
But Fudge does when he's speaking with the other minister - "I've been
having the same week you have, Prime Minister.  The Brockdale
Bridge...the Bones and Vance murders..." (P.4, US edition) These are
certainly the same murders that the other minister calls "very nasty
and well-publicized..." (p.2 US)  Granted, it may be that they were
faked, but we have no real indication of that at this point.
