You are trying to appease someone who thrives on grievance. It won't work. And now BC is hopping mad. Why was Smith working on this with you, but not Eby?

I love Adrian McKinty's Sean Duffy novels, set during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Very wry and intelligent, with strong mysteries.

Why hasn't he arrested the hard-hitting reporter who fawningly called to congratulate him on his historic victory in the last election?

You can't ignore him and simultaneously keep sticking a microphone in his face. Karl means just let him say whatever with no pushback.
