The news this morning left me a little confused as I wondered who this "mingis" character was. It finally dawned on me that this is one of those stupid, British upper-class things that's pronounced completely differently from how it's spelt. Like "Magdalene College". That's simply too ludicrous, and will have the working class and left wing splitting their (/our) sides with laughter. So I'm afraid that, unless he immediately informs the news companies to resume calling him "Menzies", he will not be getting my support.
