  Oh take me back to the days when a paragraph was a paragraph. A real paragraph. A subject and an elaboration. None of your tabloid 'if it's more than two sentences it's too long' nonsense. None of your pandering to the short-attention-span brigade. None of your 'they won't see the wood for the trees' mollycoddling. My old man used to say: 'If thou canst write and read a paragraph thou wilt do well in this world. If thou canst not, I'll take this stick to meet thy backside.' Believe me, when it's between a paragraph and a sore arse, it's a paragraph every time.
  
  Mind you, there's a freaky, perhaps subversive, mixed metaphor in her twaddle: 'The port is not simply a cornerstone of our local economy, it is a key element of the beating heart of our international trade.' A stone in that cold, cold heart for sure.
