Gordon Bennett!

The nation will, no doubt, rejoice to hear that there is a Sue Morris on the public payroll. As head of supplier management at Joint Workplace Solutions, a division of the Treasury, it’s her job to issue email memos to staff at the Cabinet Office and the Treasury telling everyone that they broke rules devised by the Health & Safety Nazis when they put up Jubilee bunting. According to Ms Morris, the bunting had to be removed and on no account were staff to climb on chairs to do it themselves. Senior members of the government had to be wheeled out to overrule the woman but, no doubt, her bonus status won’t be affected.
