    The Fictitious Spokesman

    Just read an interesting article on webb-site.com which I thought I would share.
    The fictitious spokesman

    One of the tendencies of an unelected Government, as Hong Kong has, is to try to avoid public accountability, and to allow future deniability of its statements, by refusing to be quoted on the record. Never a day goes by without some anonymous Government person being quoted as a "source" or "an official".
    The site is run by David Webb, a shareholder activist, a former investment banker and a recent independent director of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Michael_Webb
