Sausagegate
(also referred to as Sausage-gate)

Brief Outline

'Sausagegate' is the name that has been applied to a small political-scandal that took place in Downing Street on July 2006. Although no evidence was presented, nor outline in detail, a handful of individuals were prosecuted for crimes they did not commit.

One eyewitness is also reported as saying, "The alleged crimes were so petty, that if any action is taken it is one step towards human rights abuse".

The Case

It is alleged, that one the day of question, a few individuals were made scapegoats for petty incidents that involved;

a) poor manners

b) taking too many sausages (from where the term Sausagegate is derived)

Many people may see these 'crimes' are immature, but the fact an investigation was launched, coupled with economic costs, is seen by many as being pointless and a method of ridding free-thinkers from the said organisation. [The organisation shall remain nameless for now].

Since the organisation received heat, it quickly passed the blame onto a small group of individuals. Critics have slammed this action as cowardly, particualrly in the light that they, as senior management failed to control the 'misbeahviours'. Other flaws in the prosecution include the host (Downing Street's) inability to name the relevant 'criminals' and their departments, therefore allowing senior management to hand-select innocent bystanders. The blame therefore lies within the organisation.

The Future Liberalism and freedom of speech were the biggest victims in this petty scandal. Contrary to popular rumours, Steven Seagal will not be starring in a film adaptation.
