Do They mean Us? (2)

Nice to see that there's going to be a "CrackDown" on a certain type of abuse (not drug-induced).

Until you read on and discover that this will consist of merely "investigating the cost" of the abuse. A hint of the official outcome of the investigation is even disclosed by a Government Minister, who says that "it is not acceptable".

In other words, all Down & no Crack!

As usual, here in Somerset we know the outcome of the investigation before it even starts. The answer, of course, is £200,000,000.

And the miserable yokels are still crying into their cider down at the Dog & Duck. Knowing that we will be able to say "we told you so" is no comfort at all.

Did anyone else notice that the BBC have removed the reference to "Boomerang Bosses" from their article? It is rumoured that this followed a complaint from Somerset County Council ....

Does anyone at the D&D know what financial 'package' Somerset's former CE left with?

Sorry Anon - D&D not privy to such info. We also don't know whether or not the £140K was deducted from whatever sum was settled upon. Who knows, maybe Jonesy paid us to let him go to make up for all those lost millions? Anything's possible!
