<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Thrown out of a window - it was quite popular in medieval Europe where crowds of the vexed would hurl the town councillors out of the windows of the town hall, normally resulting in serious injury or death I think. Sometimes they even opened the shutters first! A superlative word.
Maybe we could revive this custom - starting with the present occupier of 10 Downing Street , then County Hall (oh, sorry, just got rid of Ken) & then on to the local councils, not fogetting the various quango's on the way !
