JR,

With regard to LL, I have not seen some-one so hell bent on self-destruction. The matter of work permits is too controversial on both sides of the fence,  for him to come out unscathed, while going after RB’s head. A decision taken last week during my absence. I warned him against doing  it in this fashion, repeated my position in EXCO of this morning, but the proverbial sh—is already out of the horse.

It surely “just aint going away” now.

I am going to forward you  an email from Hiro to give you an idea what is living amongst the civil servants. They feel threatened.
