No Defence Left

So there’s this guided missile directed at Dr Liam Fox that I wish I had launched myself, not someone styling himself ‘Scottishman’ in response to a Telegraph piece.

“Suppose a person worked for a defence contractor. In the course of his work he had to make frequent overseas visits to clients.

This person's company discovered that a shadowy figure had accompanied him and attended some business meetings using the company's logo on his business card.

When asked about the situation, the person laughed it off saying the shadowy figure was a Walter Mitty character and was harmless.

The management accepted this as a perfectly reasonable explanation.

In David Cameron's la la world this is a reasonable scenario.

This is what happens when politicians with little or no experience of business life are elected to high office.”

Pow! Double Pow! Both blasted to deserved oblivion.

Another missile in the same column targeted Fox, previously a GP, for the ‘Dr’ he still appends to his name.

"It’s as logical as Alan Johnson MP calling himself Postman Alan Johnson MP,” chortled blogger Peter Wood.

Spot on. No defence left.
