“It woz The Reg wot won it.”
Did I have a stroke?
Allow me to translate from Chav: The Register first reported on this which created the feedback.
And specifically, a reference to It's the Sun Wot Won It, a headline in the Murdoch press, not-good-enough-to-be-toilet-paper tabloid rag The Sun, crowing that they had enough influence in the 1992 general election to secure a win for the Conservatives.
Thanks for the breakdown from across the pond.
Just in case, it's a reference to the Sun newspaper "winning" the election for Tony Blair's New Labour government
