I posted this article because I was surprised to find no explanation of the term in Wikipedia or elsewhere, even though a Google search for the term reveals frequent usage, especially in the British press. It needs work but not, I suspect, too much. For those wondering whether to include a list of Whitehall farces, I suggest that list be included perhaps under an expanded article on farce. This article is--in spite of the title--not about those stage productions but about the meaning and origin of a descriptive phrase now in current use. My suggestion would be to keep this short and sweet. --Jobowo (talk) 02:35, 17 October 2008 (UTC)Reply
