Thin Controller's election Pilgrimage of Grice

The Thin Controller is out and about on the network this month.


To help voters keep tabs on the unelected Secretary of State the Labour party has created a special website covering this latest Pilgrimage of Grice.

As policy is evidently being formulated on the hoof - Adonis used Monday's visit to Sheffield to concede the Battle of the Barriers - this should make for some interesting announcements en-route.

Eye would welcome details of said as well as any pictures or observations that might not make it on to Labour's official site...

UPDATE: This just in from Only2misters...

Thanks for providing a link to Labour's 'Pilgrimage of Grice' mini-site.

However, you may be interested to see from the screen-grab below that NR sees this as 'potentially damaging' content and a possible 'security threat'.



Indeed!

UPDATE: This from Leo Pink...

Could not Eye itemise the miracles the Thin Micro-manager has wrought on his Pilgrimage of Grice?

Having had the casting out of the gates at Sheffield can we expect the miracle of the bodyshells and bogies which create 202 DMU vehicles?


Sadly the resurrection of IEP is probably beyond divine providence.

Adonis frontline tour becomes Pilgrimage of Shame

This from the Daily Telegraph...

British journalists and TV crews are to be banned from the Afghan front line once a date for the election has been set, while senior officers will be prohibited from making public speeches and talking to reporters.

Just fancy that.

Presumably this novel approach to 'open government' will also rain on the Noble Lord's April parade?

Eye fervently hopes so.

If the media is to be prevented from covering British troops as they risk life and limb in action, then what possible 'news-value' can there be in covering Adonis on a pre-election-jolly around the rail network?

Shame on this Government.

And shame on anyone tempted to cover
Adonis and his Pilgrimage of Grice whilst this MoD embargo remains in place.
