( With several other Pantopods still clinging onto their membership, Bigot and his committee members still had a long way to go to finish them all off. Thankfully, the four new recruits to the committee, Bill " Back-stabber " Bowles, Rob " Hatchet Man " Harris, Peter Burke and Harold Hare had all worked miracles in persuading a huge number of rank and file members to attend this meeting. A short extract from a secretly recorded transcript appears below. )
B-J : This incredibly rushed..... and crudely drafted...... constitutional amendment needs to be voted upon and accepted right away
Voices from the floor : Yes...yes.....we'll vote it through......we'll vote it through
One puzzled member : Oh...will someone please tell me.......Why am I here....and what's this amendment really all about ?
Voice from the back : How do we know......none of us have a bloody clue.....but if the committee are backing it then that is what we must do
Dissenter : Hold on......we need to discuss the implications of this proposed amendment in a thorough and intelligent way
B-J : If you must....
Dissenter : I believe this amendment change is potentially dangerous......it would give the committee carte blanche powers to do what it likes......
Voices from the floor : Yes...yes.....and why not
Dissenter : But these new powers would enable the committee to sling out any member..... on any pretext whatsoever........ without any right of appeal
B-J : Too right they will....because let's face it...... a club like this needs effective and focused leadership....not namby pampy, wet-behind-the-ears, wishy-washy, dilatory procrastinating wimps......a club needs a committee that is determined, resolute and decisive in every way
Voices from the floor : Here.....here.....
B-J : And since this club is overrun with Pantopods, drastic measures are called for.....
Voices from the floor : Here...here.......
Dissenter : But this isn't right........there has to be constitutional checks and safeguards in place to stop the abuse of power
B-J : We represent the voice of the majority......who I might add are all here tonight......why just listen to them....
Voices from the floor : We are with you Bigot ....all the way !
Dissenter : My God they're all brainwashed......
B-J : How dare you........these are fine, upstanding, free thinking individuals
Brainwashed supporter (stands up ) : I'm totally behind the committee....200%
Dissenter : Well, rumour has it ....your life long friend and partner is next in line to be slung out
Brainwashed supporter : Oh ...but If that's what the committee intends to do then so be it
Dissenter : But you're on their hit list too, you moron
Brainwashed supporter : Oh that's upsetting....but I must support the committee who are only acting in the best interests of the membership as a whole
Dissenter : Yes, but your fate includes a lynching....
Brainwashed supporter : Oh dearie me........but hey.......they know what's fair and just.....
B-J : I admire that man's loyalty....his blind faith....his blind obedience.....indeed, it seems a damn shame he still has to go
Voices from the floor : Long live the committee....
Dissenter : You're all stupid...
Voices from the floor : Three cheers for the committee......
Dissenter : I've heard enough....I'm off
B-J : Too right you are ....we've just terminated your membership here and now....
Dissenter : You can't .....this amendment hasn't even been voted on yet.....
B-J : Well...... within 2 minutes it will be part of a very new and exciting Constitution.....which of course enables us to make decisions .........all capable of having retrospective effect
Voices from the floor : Hurrah.....hurrah ......for Bigot's a jolly good fellow....for...
