Mystery

“…and he let Jimmy Savile get away!”
Not strictly true, but hey, that’s not a crime.
On some supporters’ faces there’s dismay
but here’s the clincher: bought myself some time.
Except it lingers longer than most lies.
“It’s inappropriate and partisan”
Munira says. ”You must apologise.”
I grit my teeth. I’ll take it like a man.
“It’s not his personal record I attacked.
I totally get he didn’t make that call.
He ran the organisation – that’s a fact
so he still takes the blame. I think that’s all.”

A piece of piss. Worth it, for peace of mind.
“Munira! Why on earth have you resigned?”
