Turdgate! Hilarious. It shouldn't be but it is.

I should think that's horribly close to the truth. Yet another example of the URCM machine being out to get someone because of their views...if you're "wrong" about certain aspects of transport policy, or anything to do with how URCM is being run, you're demonised for it, and the more times you publicly express such "wrong" views, the more determined they are to give you a hard time. You of course know this, despite being "on message" regarding transport policy. (In the best oppressive tradition, they don't even like people holding such views and not expressing them, but they tend to be relatively lenient unless one speaks out, which is very generous of them I think.)

The question is, who in their right mind would now want to become the new Deputy? Jackson needs someone to do his dirty work and deal with the riffraff and dissenters on his behalf. He's too important to even acknowledge their existence publicly.

Oh, and "Screeeeech!" (but for some reason it's not screeching when TlT or someone he agrees with does it....)
