Does this rather annoying catchphrase come from the Telegraph newspaper? I thought it came from this board but I noticed that paper seems to like it a lot. Maybe it's a news international thing. But, don't you think it's getting a bit tiresome now?

Dawn Primarolo used it a lot when implementing IR35, which is why contractors have remembered it ever since.
