SLAUGHTER HOUSE BC DISCIPLINARY HEARING…..No. 4651

( After introducing sub-zero tolerance policies with a vengeance, Bigot-Johnson and his cronies were on all out witch hunt. This was now the time to set about anyone who stepped over the line. Up next on the long list of miscreants was Pernella Pantopod , on the serious charge of drawing and publishing a picture on her blog of committee members  wearing jackboots,  brown shirts and all sporting little Hitler moustaches. An extract from the hearing’s transcript appears below . )

Armed Steward : All rise for the Fuhrer……

B-J ( walking in ) : Thank you steward…..you may all sit down now

PP : Can any one explain why I’m here ?

B-J : As if you didn’t know…..why, do you deny depicting committee members …on your offensive and vulgar blog….as fascists ?

PP : No , I don’t……I regard that picture as a work of art

B-J :  Well , my spies have also reported that there have been other derogatory posts on your blog depicting committee members as fascist thugs ….with their straight arm salutes……. and swastika flags

PP : Just like the ones outside this place ?

B-J : Yes…but this is a committee that cannot…..and will not….tolerate any behaviour inside or outside the premises…..which brings the club into disrepute or puts a slur upon the character and reputation of its elite members

PP : What sort of sodding people are you ?

B-J : Sanctimonious Sods…..SS for short

PP : Oh yes.... you and your lackeys have really placed yourselves above the rank and file membership

B-J : Might I remind you that being in office qualifies us to enjoy enhanced status , privilege and the right to promote double standards

PP : But what I was doing was making a general observation about corrupt committees with no references or mention of this particular club 

B-J ; You can’t fool us…..we know who you were aiming your satirical comments at…..but thankfully our sub-zero tolerance policies allow us carte blanche powers to assume what we like….and to do what we like

PP :  My God....your sub- zero tolerance policy has created a cold , harsh, oppressive environment,  which aims to freeze out all those who perceive as a threat. Such a merciless,  uncompassionate policy simply allows you to escape the burden of making discretionary decisions . Moreover, it exonerates you lot from any charges of prejudice and bias, which in turn enables this committee to target  who they like…..or should I say dislike

B-J : Such defamatory rubbish !

PP : By refusing to consider each individual’s proud history and honest intentions , which inspired their actions , sub-zero tolerance policies deny the unique worth and dignity of every person

B-J : So what were your intentions exactly ?

PP : To expose all those in authority who choose to abuse their power ……… by doing away with  undesirable minorities , and silencing all those possessing opposing views and attitudes

B-J : Well Pernella …..our intention has always been to create a very cohesive , warm, friendly and social bridge club , where like-minded people can come to enjoy one another’s company over a game of bridge

PP : You just don’t get it…..your sub-zero tolerance policy puts you…..and your lackeys…into a position of supreme power to make irrational decisions…..and to impose disproportionate punishments on those who , in all innocence , commit a minor transgression….or as , in my case,  who have the audacity to expose wrongdoing and corruption

B-J : Too bloody right…..because let’s face you are guilty of  broadcasting vile , highly provocative and damaging lies…….for which the penalty is seizure of all your worldly assets

PP : Whatever happened to free speech ? ......I thought the days of Stalinism were long gone ?

B-J : Those days came back, when your renewed membership meant new disciplinary rules to abide by

PP : But I don’t remember them being passed by the membership at any recent AGM’s ?

B-J : That particular requirement has been dispensed with ....in the interests of expediency

PP : This is outrageous…

B-J : Ronnie….take this woman down to the cellars to join the others who are being prepared for “ corrective “ therapy……

Ronnie : Your wish is my command….oh Fuhrer
