That's how you right an Op-Ed

They clepe us drunkards is the title to an Op-Ed in the Telegraph regarding the new law to extend drinking hours beyond 11pm.

You can't go wrong quoting Shakespeare (Hamlet for the title, and Othello in the body of the article).

And you wouldn't expect a sentence like, "The net effect of the legislation will be to make a lot of young people somewhat sicker, uglier, rowdier and more sluttish." supporting the new law, but support the law they do.

UPDATE: how many times did I look at that title and not notice the error, wait, maybe it's not an error, maybe it's an ironic attempt to suggest that this editorial is unusually right thinking and libertarian for the Telegraph. (or maybe I posted it while sloshed, I report, you deride)
