Dear Mr Branagan…
Nominations to Phil Council is an informal process that takes place in the format of a extraordinary private business meeting. It doesn’t require academic garb in the same way that a public business meeting or an ordinary private business meeting would require, and therefore we are not dressed as a ‘bunch of jokers’. Similarly, please examine this blog. If we were really such a ‘bunch of jokers’ do you think we could have achieved so many extraordinary things this year? I think not. Perhaps you should recognize a talent group of young people?
