Doesn’t a wind up require at least a semblance of credibility?

I think even by the strictest criteria it has a tad of cred.

5 pages indulging a wind up merchants ego.

I don't think me pointing out a fairly outrageous data breach was an opportunity to do that. Just because I've responded to the various reactions; well that on this forum is par for the course.

If this is 5 pages of indulging a wind up merchants ego what does a number of 1k+ post threads say about the board as a whole? Just like the Brexit thread, I wanted to start one where cock-ups and criticism of the current government can have a single residency. That allows both descenting and advocating voices!

Pace Mandy Rice-Davies - you would say that wouldn’t you?

Forgive me if I got this wrong. The Cabinet Office appears to be a Department of Government. Its employees are not Civil Servants. They work for the Government as far as I can see.

No, it’s part of the Civil Service.

Thanks. But why does it quote ‘Civil Service Equivalents’ against its roles? I.e it has departmental grades and then states the equivalent civil service grade.

Don’t know, sorry. Possibly because it’s more policy driven so the grades don’t directly equate?

I'm imagine you are 'going' to light a candle rather than 'goner'. There is quite a lot of insults in there let me deal with each one in turn...

Liar...keeping personal information secret is everyones right, even yours.
Jaffa...I like a sweet orange like fruit.
Had/have a barren wife...doubtful I or the other party would be stupid enough to get married
My name doesn't include derby, the username on here does
You are correct I am a poor sod for having to deal with a relentless barrage
Light a candle...Don't set fire to your house please!

It's all explained in Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister, Maple.

 


Wife beating may be socially acceptable in Sheffield, but it is a different matter in Cheltenham
