Making it easy for the Minister
Bern :Gee, you were hard on the PM's ideas yesterday. Have you ever really welcomed one of his ideas? SirH Not that I can think of. bern There was, I remember, that time when HE wanted YOU to look after some new department the govt had just created . They were really concerned about the environment being neglected , so they created a new deparment to focus on it . You didn't respond very well when he offered the job to you , but you said " yes" later with the thumbs up - not like you at all! Sirh yes true , But Bernard we always love it when they do the right thing bern its just not nice to sound too pleased - too supportive? Sirh Makes them suspicious .Also , if they knew we were wrapped ; that we agreed with them , they get nervous . After all, if they think about it too much they would realise they don't really like the idea of more departments. Got to maintain the illusion that this new departmnet will be one that THEY can control . Bern Fair enoug...
