The BBC is an organisation renowned for its committment to bullshit - I mean modern management methods.
One of the best known techniquest of modernmanagement is risk assessment.
An inuet into the death of BBC news reporter Kate Paton who ws shot dead in Somalia in 2005 this week concluded that no blame could be attached to the Corporation for its reporter's death as a thorough risk assessment had been carried out before she was sent to Somalia.
A thorough risk assessment my arse!
Here is a thorough risk assessment:
Somalia, East Africa - failed state where rule of law has completely broken down, poorest African nation, is run by tribal warlords and Islamic fanatics, a haven for jihadist terrorists, the main industries are piracy and gun running and slave trading.
Kate Paton - Young, pretty, educated, middle class, christian, English girl brought up in a liberal democracy.
Are the risks acceptable?
Its a no brainer really.
