so you fancy a cup of tea on the platform before boarding your train - make sure you only let 2 go past, or you might find yourself surrounded by agents of the state.

Deeply ironic that the main researcher quoted is named Orwell.

As in the river? Spooky indeed...

Sorry not one of my better creations. But then my genius did come up with AtW and Chico.

Ah, but AtW took on a life of its own and came up with shaunbhoy.

My greatest fear is that if we have to live in a Police State, even the muppets will manage to run that badly.

Epic Fail

Can the UK get anything right ?

Isn't the UK quite good at being a police state?

No, she knew. She was a public servant, so could not speak up.

"Buried in the shallow grave of public duty", as Lawrence called it. Freed of that himself, he went on to say "now I mean to be my own judge of what to say".

She'd better watch out though, for sudden urges to go for a walk in the woods with a blunt knife and some painkillers.

She did retire quite a while ago and there was nothing like this in her book as I remember.

I think it goes to show what a horrendous state the security services are in when it takes all these years for a (now ex) boss to spot the game plan.
