*Riiiiiiise my zombie minion!*

OK, I'm reading this book at the moment and am about 3/4s of the way through. It's a different angle on it to a lot of the stuff I've seen/read before and I'm surprised he got so many people to open up on it.

But yeah, it just continues to show what a fucking, well - fiasco, the whole thing was from start to it's (still indeterminate) finish. Given that it focuses mainly on the political I'd recommend the BBC doco Daylight Robbery to look at the financial side of the fiasco.

What amazes me is that in this book, even with the full benefit of hindsight there are so many that still insist that what they did was the right thing at the time and that they did it the right way...
