You Couldn't Make It Up

[Canary42]

All of a sudden, Brexiteers are queueing up to defend an unelected bureaucrat.

>You Couldn't Make It Up

Maybe you have. He's an adviser not a bureaucrat in my book. What's your definition of bureaucrat?

[rockyracoon]

Who are you talking about?

[fiction-factory]

It's another Dom thread, rocky

[Bobbisox1]

Bangs head on desk !!

[rockyracoon]

Good Lord!

[Zacs-Master]

‘You couldn’t make it up’

Obviously, you can!

[steg]

bureaucrat
/ˈbjʊərəkrat/
noun
an official in a government department, in particular one perceived as being concerned with procedural correctness at the expense of people's needs.

[fiction-factory]

Yes, that's the definition I'm familiar with. Sounds like the complete opposite of DC to me

[steg]

Aye, he’s more the procedural incorrectness kind of guy

[steg]

Ps. Nicola is still doing braw up here

[diddlydo]

Canary - maybe refer to him as "an unelected Civil Servant". The fact that he is an uncivil servant could start a whole new argument!

[maggiebee]

Maybe a servant, but certainly not civil. Show them how it's done Nicola, you're going a sterling job.

[Peter Pedant]

not the first
there is a lib dem cartoon somewhere
with Dom in the centre
left speech bubble - people voted to Bexit to stop unelected Brussels officials telling them what to do
and
the right speech bubble - so they could have unelected officials in London telling them what .....

[diddlydo]

Nice one PP!

We have all heard the phrase re employment. ‘ No one is indispensable’ . Someone should tell Boris .
