Let us be confident that the judges will do their jobs properly and establish who's who in the world of Somerset Terror, with no more evasion, distraction, distortion or spin.
Incredible as it may sound (especially to the regulars down at the Dog & Duck who have had experience), the story this time is that the Forces of Excellence were in fact the victims of bullying. Yep, that's right, same as perpetrators, but in reverse!
Now this may sound like a sick joke, but let us remember that an acknowledged "culture of bullying" was one of the building blocks of Excellence as Somerset knows it. Also, a lot of people now have experience of living under Excellence. They will know that it is has been standard management practice for anyone who asks unhelpful questions to be branded a "bully".
However, up until now, that has been a purely internal procedure. To the outside world, dissenters have always been presented as "Organizational Terrorists", at least since Venice. This implies some sort of subversive underground movement, rather than a display of jackbooted authority. And it's pretty obvious why - imagine headlines in the Sun:
Mouse Terrorises Cat!; or
Somerset Worm Scares Birds!
Anyone who wants the full background to the sordid little saga could do worse than check out Hansard. (P.S. - nice to see someone standing up for a political opponent for a change!)
As for next week, everyone at the D&D says:
Good Luck Paul!

Jonesy claiming HE has been bullied?
This MUST to be a joke!
So Alan Jones does not have the bottle to turn up at his own adjudication.
Why is that?
Did he want to avoid answering questions under oath about a certain lady who was the ISiS Programme Manager, who worked under him and was allegedly paid off handsomely?
Rumours are circulating of ever greater numbers wanting "rolling heads", or at least a bit of bloodshed, over the SAP debacle (e.g. from people owed money who are finding out that it has finally been paid - but to someone else!). In this context it is understandable that Alan is keeping a low profile. Perhaps he has emigrated to Kazakhstan?
