IN THIS BEST OF ALL POSSIBLE WORLDS, EVERYTHING IS FOR THE BEST (Voltaire)

No, you are at the correct blog ! Not some clever philosophers. As I referred to Voltaire's quote at Cabinet tonight I thought I better post it here in a recognisable form.

I used it ironically, as it was intended, because that is the feeling you get after reading a quarterly Performance Management Report, which was the only real item on tonight's Cabinet agenda. I asked a number of questions of this Report - and wondered why all indicators that show they are way off target are still forecast to be achieved by 31 March. Hence the reference to Candide.
