Useless adornment

It’s all very well for a ‘top mandarin’ to blacken the government of the day during the crisis phase of the Chinese plague, but if he just sat back and drew his pay and did nothing to help, he’s not worth that much himself.
    And what he has to say for himself is worth about the same.
    The conclusion from this lawyer-fest inquiry is already clear and it doesn’t need to drag on for another decade.
    The next time the Chinese send us a plague, don’t let the civil service, wobbly politicans, doomy medical ‘experts’ and especially not Desperate Dom anywhere near it. Then we might have a chance of getting through it relatively unscathed.
