Looking up Hanlon's Razor on Wikipedia, I found this. Charming:
A common (and more laconic) British English variation, coined by Sir Bernard
Ingham, is the saying "cock-up before conspiracy", deriving from this quotation:
Many journalists have fallen for the conspiracy theory of government. I do
assure you that they would produce more accurate work if they adhered to the
cock-up theory.
