  form have made him an unwitting champion for all those exasperated by 
  bureaucracy.

John Jessop earned a cult following among his colleagues after his withering 
  comments were leaked in an e-mail which has been sent all round the country.

  equipment inside rather than the outside, the constraint is the planning 
  system.”
