I love the Mail's prurient approach to anything to do with Ugandan Matters - they love to titter behind their fans and exchange glances and think about how naughty they are.
They love phrases like 'outraging public decency' - I wouldn't be surprised of there is a framed portrait of Mary Whitehouse in the Editor's office.

//It is in this way presumably that some of the more colourful and enduring euphemisms were coined by Private Eye. Tired and emotional for drunk: "That was to do with a Labour politician." Ugandan relations became the phrase for sex, usually adulterous, back in the Sixties. "That was to do with James Fenton, a poet, who was caught upstairs with a Ugandan princess at a party. When he came downstairs he had obviously been doing what we thought he was doing but he said he'd been discussing Ugandan affairs. It was an immortal phrase, so from then on it was Ugandan relations or Ugandan affairs.//
And of course there's the way to tell someone to 'go forth and multiply' - "I refer m'learned friend to the defendant's answer in the case of Arkell v Pressdram".
