-----you could not put county council officials on boards to protect the taxpayers on a small scale? I said the last day that this is a case of mind the chickens in the henhouse, keep the door closed, and do not let in the fox. The Government does not want to see any fox. You want to carry on your merry-go-round with public service broadcasting that is beholden to the Government and certain committee members here as well. We hear them morning, noon and night in interviews, but anyone with an alternative view is forgotten about. It is not fair or right and you are not able to control it. You have no intention of trying to control it. It suits the Government narrative to let this cabal carry on.
