You know calling these memos the Downing Street Memos is a liberal technique to give creditability to the memos by attempting to tie the memos to Tony Blair whose residence as England's PM is No. 10 Downing Street. The Downing Street Memos are really the Fleet Street Memos. Fleet Street in London is the traditional home of the national press which we refer to as the MSM.

Calling them "Fleet Street Memos" still gives them credibility.

How about "the Page 3 Memos", after said page on that bastion of good journalism, "The Sun"?

Also the home of a certain barber named Sweeny if I recall.
