I disagree Basa.
Yes, it's like swans/ducks on a lovely tranquil stream... they are gliding along beautifully - but this is whilst paddling like the clappers beneath the surface trying to stay afloat and in an effort to maintain movement in the right direction.
Might look calm Basa, but believe me, I know the corporates, and behind the doors... it really isn't!

I could sware that one of those was originally allocated as a question to be answered by the 'CO' (Cabinet Office') previously? Will have to check back on my posts here. Wonder when they will finally answer these questions. Big questions with consequences hopefully!
