Witch watch

Every time I read a newspaper, or hear the news on radio or TV, someone or some organisation is being pilloried.
This clearly should be documented, otherwise the flood of tutting this week will make us forget the dreadful goings-on we tutted about last week.
To this end, I am starting Witch Watch. This will attempt to identify every witch who is identified and sent to the bonfire.

Update Nov 12 2012: The witchfinder mob turned on the BBC because it pulled a Newsnight programme about Jimmy Savile and child abuse. Now it’s turning on the BBC because it didn’t pull a Newsnight programme about child abuse on Wales.Businesses have risk committees to ensure they don’t go off the financial rails. It is clear they now need witch committees to work out what to do when the mob turns up at the plate glass entrance with flaming torches.George Entwhistle wasn’t a bad director general. He didn’t have time to establish whether he was bad or good. He simply didn’t have a witch committee with a plan.


Update later in Oct 2012: The mob howling for blood were told Jimmy Savile was dead, so they tried to burn down the BBC instead, on the grounds that Savile appeared on BBC television. For the only sane voice in all this frenzy of righteousness, read Simon Jenkins in The Guardian:

Update Oct 2012: Jimmy Savile is a posthumous witch. Everyone in the pop business was chatting up schoolgirls in the 1960s. 

Update Aug 21: Clearly witchfinders go on holiday in August. Isn't it nice.

Update July 19: Nick Buckles of G4S is the new pariah. He screwed up the Olympic security contract, therefore G4S must be totally incompetent and should have all other contracts cancelled. 
The Olympics will be fine. Security will work fine. And in a week or so, another witch will be found and we will forget all about Mr Buckles.

To start it off, I nominate the dudes of Barclays Bank as today's witches. 

Watch this witch space.
