...perpetrators of a humiliating shambles, as one MP was insistent the CEO repeat after him yesterday. 'Was it a humiliating shambles, yes or no?'
Quite why MPs at these enquiries (and BBC interviewers) get such a thrill out of getting their victims to use an exact form of words I cannot fathom. Looks like showboating to me. I'm not defending the CEO, but he knows their performance was cr*p, we know it was cr*p - what does it matter what words are used?
I agree with you Wilkie. Theres also the feeding frenzy which they can join in, and them being thankful that it isnt them who are being eaten... bit of playground bullying.

It's just a power thing, Doug. Makes them look like plonkers.
Politicians are all on power trips anyway!
