Quote:CASA backs its cost estimates for satellite tracking system
Well, DM! - that article certainly settles any argument about which side of the reform fence Skidmore sits, facts – ignored, real costs – ignored, CASA in the ascendancy, once again. Oh, there are some weasel words which, in a trite, legal fashion could be construed to justify the CASA conditions and definitions of the parameters they set and then used to justify their efforts. Basically though, it says – sod off; we still do exactly as pleases our master, the grand vizier of soporific enchantment.
I can see the picture emerging, there sits Skidmore ‘on his watch’, staring vacantly at the half full coffee cup (mugs is for plebs), fascinated by the pictures within, entrapped by Voodo, seduced by Hoodoo and made catamite to mighty system, patiently waiting the seductive voice of reason. Softly a shadowy figure enters the darkened room; “Mark, Mark” it croons, “sign this for me, comrade Dougy and Steve will slip it into the media and you may be at peace, returned to land of make believe, houri’s, to smoke and gaze into mirrors” “There’s a good chap; now here’s your pen, that’s it: thank you O’ great one”. Exeunt stage left into shadow.
One more for the next run GD; best warm his seat up, get him used to the temperature down there.
Toot toot.
