They're very good at saying Sorry
Is there some memo going around telling everyone to say sorry everytime their incompetence is noticed in the media? There must be another one circulated to Labour MPs telling them to parrot the concerns that focus groups are revealing. Hello? It's the service and the solutions we're paying you for, not for saying Sorry and repeating our own demands back to us. Just do your damn jobs, you shower, or resign. Sorry is no good.

I'd never given an interview for the newspapers until the other day when I was interviewed over the phone by a reporter on the Ham and High about the launch of the new Witness Service. I distinctly remember giving rational, sensible responses. Proper answers. What I read when it came out in the newspaper was a load of old tosh. I never said most of what they wrote and that was only the Ham and bloody High! The cult of misinformation has now spread to saying 'sorry' for things that the media may have got wrong in the first place. I learned a lesson. If you don't want to be misquoted then don't give an interview in the first place.

Um, I don't know how to make that hyperlink, so you'll have to cut and paste.
Oh and I just read it again. I sound more sensible on second reading. Perhaps it's the info between my quotes that's all to cock

I say this to you...yes we have made mistakes and we are sorry that mistakes have been made but I say this to you we must move on. It is pointless asking why mistakes were made. They have been made already so I just say this to you...let's move on. And to those who ask why mistakes were made I urge you to have the integrity to accept the apologies of those who made them and just move on. For what profiteth it a man to point out mistakes and ask that they be accounted for when they have already been apologised for. I say this to you. Let's move on. And I would just say this to you, if mistakes are made in the future, take it as a given that we are sorry for them and have the integrity to move on without a lot of breast-beating about it. I urge you. I do. And that is why I just say this to you.

witness scheme
Good luck with the witness scheme. It is a valuable service. And good to see the mention of the difficulty of being cross-examined. I had to appear a few times as a witness in cases and each time the barrister for the defendants managed to almost convince me that I, and not his clients, had beaten myself up, and not just that but also that I deserved to be beaten up.
Barristers are nasty bullying pieces of work. If they weren't barristers they would probably be politicians. Oh, wait a minute...
