Hugh Grant tweeted a request at activists protesting outside Westminster to play the Benny Hill theme on their loudspeakers; when they did it became the soundtrack for street interviews with leading Tories trying explain the situation to the British people

Next time you think that the solution to your Infosec problem, lies in an arbitrary list of 16 specialisms you must have to "do it right"...

Was just reminded of a story that I wrote a detailed blog a few years back about

How I saved a big corp over £1m a year, with simple process changes. Big companies are full of inefficiencies like this, your security ones may contribute to that too
