How often in years gone by, when reading of yet another instance of The Mad Officials (to use Christopher Booker's phrase) in action, blindly following procedures but not common sense, have we wanted the journalists to go that one step further and actually name the rubber desk johnnies personally responsible for making ordinary people's lives a misery, rather than for their articles to be left hanging with "a spokesman for Squandershire District Council said....."?
Well, all praise to Richard Littlejohn today for not only naming Lance Kennedy the "Tortoise Tyrant" of Cornwall Council responsible for the persecution of a St Austell tortoise sanctuary and its owner, but also publishing his full job title (Cabinet Member and Portfolio Holder for Community Safety - as Littlejohn himself would put it, you couldn't make it up), work address, email address and phone number, third story down in the linked article after those about the released Islamist suicide bomb terrorists and the talking litter bins. Here's to the thought of a new trend?
