I am not a fan of swearing unnecessarily and hardly do, but when there is a need for it to highlight a point, I think it works rather well, and DC has used it with great effect here.

The Environment Minister changed twice before we got permission to build. Yvette Cooper took over from Prescott, then it was Hazel Blears (sp).
