A story of a fabled land far far away... part IX

The day was a new day and so the gallant knights of the Oblong table assembled. They had as their main adviser Louise of the round table even as they sat around their oblong table in the halls of celestis.

The knights of the oblong table sat in a side room with Louise of the Round table. There they would discuss the important issues of the days that affected the workers of Avalon.
They were very busy discussing the future and then they took advice from Gwendolen of Goswell. They sat round chewing the cud and came to the conclusion that there were many things that they needed to sell off to raise money to pay their counsellors allowances.
They decided that they would raise money by selling off three big buildings where children lived.
One of these was in the neighbouring burgh of Camelot. It was a very rich area with big houses that would fetch many millions when sold.

The knights decided that they would sell the homes and then decided that they would sell their homecare services to a private sector.
Gwendolen of Goswell sat with the others and said that: "the bottom line is that we need to sell the services to the private sector as cheaper is better!"

Gwendolen of Goswell and the other senior officers sat down together to discuss what to do. They were Andy of Manchester; Helen of Highbury; Paul of Barnsbury; Mike of the money; Richard of the hills and dales; and Kevin of the vale.
These learned folk were gathered in Helen's office around Louise's round table and decided that they would advise the knights of the oblong table that they should go ahead with cheaper but better. let us find the most crap companies and sell off the public services. let us fill the coffers full and sell off the buildings. let us upset the workers and who cares, they said.

So there will be more in the next instalment...
