Friends, I thought the day would never come but here it is - I finally feel some sympathy for civil servants.
Sometimes even I have to admit that their job can be impossible. Take the report that's finally come out re: the guy who went on a knife rampage.
You remember.... the guy who went on a knife rampage in the Midlands.
No, not that, the one in Birmingham.
Anyway, they've done a report into this case and the answer is....
Can you guess?
McLeod was known to be a violent offender and Ms Hunt said agencies had failed to communicate effectively and had not prepared properly for his release from prison.
Yep, MOAR MEETINGS!
Of course, preparation is kind of difficult when you can't acknowledge what you're preparing for.
The BBC shows us two of the victims but not the other five - they're Victims Of No Appearance apparently. Say, I wonder if they have anything in common with the two guys shown?
Nope, it's was all 'random' apparently - which is the line they were taking long before they even started on the report.
Hence my feelings of sympathy. It must be hard to do a threat assessment for Fantastic Mr Fox when you're not allowed to use the words 'chickens' or 'hen house'.

"Coroner Louise Hunt highlighted extensive failures by the prison and probation services and said she would recommend offender management changes."
Try recommending sackings and jailings instead, love.
