A Bonfire Of The Quangos?

A Bonfire Of The Quangos?


Reading through The Sunday Times (I know it's Tuesday!) I came across an article by Michael Clifford on the governments plan to abolish quangos, or to be more accurate its pre-election promise to do so. And of the one hundred and forty five that were to be abolished the National Consumer Agency was to be the first to go. Except according to the article it's off to hide within the Competition Authority. So much for that! Anyway, and ahead of the posse I worked out a possible solution a little while back that might satisfy all concerned! A Eureka moment! 

Eureka!

Had to rummage
Around a bit.
Find the parts.
All that calculus
And the mad geometry
That couldn't be done
They said,
Rome wasn't built in a day
The smirks....

About the midnight oil,
And the loophole detectors 
Wouldn't take it
The begrudgers!

Beavering away
On how many knots
In a guideline,
Or who wants to be
A millionaire.

Just watch the crank
They said.
The little cogs,
The exhibits!

Well I'll show 'em
A museum piece.
The Quango Hammer!

Nice one Frank.

The Bankers should be sentenced to a few years hard labour on the Quango Hammer.
