As I’ve always said. Yes Minister was a documentary.

Used as a fumigant at low level. Were you thinking of phosgene instead?

Yeah prolly. Thanks! Saw the text only momentarily.

Until the PM appoints a horse as secretary of communications, let us at least comfort ourselves that it isn’t the worst pollution a government city has ever suffered.

I saw the word “phosphine” in there … presence recorded but not measured, so presumably concentration could have been high. So, what’s the basis for the government’s previous statement that there was no risk to public health? What are the health effects of exposure to phosphine gas?
And with reports on the record that the place was slack and “appeared to have home-made processing systems” – no surprise that Katie Gallagher is gagging the information.
I wonder what else they know.
