Firstly, well done Sir Stephen. It will not be by coincidence that the Guardian was selected - nor is the process as simple as CAS's outer office ringing up the Guardian and saying 'My boss wants a word with your Boss'.
Many of you will remember 'Malcolm' the foul-mouthed Communications Director in 'The Thick of it'. Well, the process in town (DGMC, the role of the Cabinet Office &c) is not far from that...
Post script.
Some of the post on the Guardian website are reasonably sensible and supportive...amongst the usual bleeding heart dross. At least not as bad as many of the rabid postings often found on the Telegraph!
