We took bids from a variety of suppliers and it turns out that bespoke and competent totalitarianism in Orwell's '1984' model is rather expensive and will restrict how much money will be available for the minister to spend on grouse shooting in the Scottish Highlands.

So we took the liberty of soliciting a range of bids at different price points and as it turns out, G4S brought up a lovely little offering that they have titled 'Central Services from Terry Gilliam's Brazil'.

It is both cheap and looks the part, but most importantly, doesn't rely on anything actually working or anybody doing anything that could reasonably be described as work, especially at the top end, thus freeing up far more time for golf.

You, I like you. One thing I believe you missed is the the promise from G4S of a cushy 'director' role for said minister when politics has run its course, for said minister....

Ahh yes, well it is a jolly little number that, but be aware not to discuss it with your colleagues until you are well out of department. We don't want it coming up in committee, now do we? You don't want it becoming a wash.
