Hallo again, sorry about the lateness of the clues posting, we've had a thunderstorm rolling around for the past hour or so, so I've been off the net, and with all the plugs pulled out, just in case.
Anyway, the words this morning were pretty straight forward, just matching something to them may take a wee while -
STRAW ALMS MEDIA SOCK
As usual, the contest closes when the Herculis becomes available and I'll post the results at a more respectable hour, when everyone is awake Monday morning.
straw POLL
(the politicians are all men of straw and need a polaxe applied to them)
alms DISH
(I don't think somehow, after what we have read, that any retiring politicians will have need of alms)
media FRENZY
(the collapse of the Labour government is certainly fuelling that)
WIND sock
(all the politicians are full of wind and need a sock on the jaw)
