The UN Secretary General Conspiracy






We are led to believe the UN follows a rigorous protocol when they decide on who will be the Secretary General. Or is simply a case of picking the guy with the funniest sounding name?

The last 3 Secretary Generals:

- Ban Ki-moon (the new dude)
- Kofi Annan
- Boutros Boutros-Ghali

If you think these might be normal names in their respective countries, note that when it was the UK's turn, did they chose someone with a name like John Smith? Oh no, they went for a Mr Gladwyn Jebb. Now don't try and tell me there is no funny business going on at the UN. I demand an enquiry!

PS - What do their PA's call themselves ... Secretaries to the Secretary? (Surely not).

Ah yes, the blog almost slipped off quietly in to the oblivious night. But it was not to be; the RMF spirit was too strong a force!

Whatever happens, I know the RMF will always live on in the hearts of its founding members.
