No Flying (off the handle)

This is the second thread on this subject I've come across in the last five minutes, and I had to say something there too.

After an explosion that spread my cornflakes all over the ceiling this morning, I calmed down and started to think. Wait to see if any politicians, journalists, other vermin etc etc pick it up with a view to making publicity for themselves. If it goes quiet, leave well alone. Keep thinking of reasonable arguments that make the journos look as stupid and sensation-seeking as they are but keep them in reserve.

You have NO CONTROL over how what you say to a journalist is presented, as many many people have discovered to their cost.
