All that glistens.
Looks like, smells like, feels like, tastes like; so glad I didn’t step in it.
The questions may well have been comprehensively “addressed”, but did the answers satisfy the examiners? Clearly not. A classic demonstration of departmental duck shoving followed by a comprehensive exhibition of the ‘bus stop’ game, covered by and endless stream of spinning rhetoric simply does not mean that ASA is off the hook. Heff quite rightly suggests that the audit, when complete will provide a much safer, less jaded set of answers. Hopefully, from that audit the truth may be winnowed. ‘We’ may never see the implications raised by that audit but we may follow the breadcrumb trail from the Senate and departmental actions. ASA is in a world of trouble and there are some hard, astute eyes watching. Perhaps Halfwit should have taken Heff's advice and shuffled off to new pastures rather than attend keep fit classes.
Toot toot.
