Government hanging in for sake of the nation? Well, that’s a sick joke

SINCE I began writing a regular column I can only remember being called by the editor to justify two of them.

The first one was about a tourism report that I savaged in 1992. There were a number of idiotic statements in it.

I suppose the reason I was called in was that one of the people connected with the commissioning of the report had previously threatened to sue the newspaper on a completely unrelated matter and the editor obviously wished to ensure I had my facts right.
