    With this warp mentality, we will continue marking time, remain a third world country, shit at beaches and still not be able to prevent simple cholera outbreaks. Inward looking government.

    His pompous posturing and argumentative style marked him out as a novice. Fancy him accusing the KPMG independent witness of undertaking a shoddy job, when his own side had made a pig's meal of pink sheets.
