Who Drew the Short Straw?

Nobody volunteered when the call came from Westminster. Actually, as the late Dr David Kelly would confirm (if he were able), House of Commons Select Committees do not give their witnesses the option of saying no. It was only a day or two after his rough handling by a Select Committee that the poor man was found dead. But it is now me for an intense grilling on what happened to Somerset’s £25 million currently missing in Iceland. I will do my best, but haven’t a clue what to say. The limp excuse that we only spent £7 on specialist advice may make those MPs rock with mirth. So thanks a bunch Mr Crabb. And ta very much Alan. I may take Meic with me for moral support. Rumour has that Ian Liddell-Grainger will be sitting in on my session. Happy new year? I doubt it.
