The Law of Delay

It is many years since the great Parkinson exposed the devilish machinations of bureaucracy with his famous Law. Little, we are sorry to note, has changed since then. Lunatic committees, weak-kneed buck-passers and Abominable No-men still have us at their mercy, and we tremble with frustration…But who is this paragon on the skyline, this preux chevalier of the pen, his lance stropped to a fine edge for the dissection of incompetence? Take heart, friend, tremble no more. For it is the great Parkinson himself, returning to the fray. You are about to witness one of the great spectacles of our time, the rout of the bureaucrats.
