It is hard to miss the irony in people eagerly poring through illegally-obtained private email, looking for ethical breaches by the writers!

Prawns not in their native habitat. Probably Tastimus deliciousus
Millard Fillmore's Bathtub 
Even BBC is calling it a “leak” now. So you can drop the cybercrime angle…
