America, land of a thousand Super Heroes! - Superman, Wonderwoman, Batman, Spiderman and Mickey Mouse to name but a few.

Well, eat your heart out USA, the UK now has its very own Super Hero, Red Tape Man, and he's for real!

You don't need to look too hard for him. He's everywhere! Local Authorities and Central Governmental Departments are the typical habitat of this unique species.
Easily identified by the security pass on a chain around the neck.

Local councils always have the best examples, in huge abundance. They lurk in every department to catch the unwary. They are masters of disguise, cunningly pretending to offer assistance when their real agenda is to frustrate and confound their unfortunate victims. The more resistance offered by the recipient, the more red tape is applied till the innocent prey is rendered totally helpless.

University educated, with a useful degree in environmental proctology, financed and encouraged by New Labour, (via the tax payer), to avoid the unemployment statistics, then employed by the same authority to justify their useless education system. (And of course, to cultivate another Labour supporter).

Just when you think you have outmanoeuvred Red Tape Man, he will produce even more unfathomable, illogical arguments with which to thwart the unsuspecting and the unwary.

A true master at his art.

Underestimate Red Tape Man at your peril for he will have you taped!
