We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Weatherlawyer"
saying something like:

I watched the story of the Herald of Free Enterprise that night and
listened to the pie eater in chief giving us moral outrage about the
safety design and valuable promises about what that lot of scammers
would do if it were them.

The narrator went on to point out that the ships still don't have to
have bow door safety controls installed. But at least it gave the
Labour party a chance to bone up on not getting any government
department covered in poo whenever they hold an inquiry.

What I also found priceless was the former CE of TT whinging on about
'it wasn't our fault the Dept of Floating Bits passed the tubs as safe
without door indicators'.

Several times his own people had raised an internal requirement about
door indicators and his company had ignored it. To be fair to the man,
he'd only just taken on the job, but the blame for the lack of action
rested squarely with top management.
