In an unexpected move, the government has decided to replace SAGE with STOOGE, the Scientific and Technical Operational Oversight Group of Experts.

The same group of experts will be transferred from SAGE to STOOGE so in that respect the new group will have some similarities with the old. However we understand that the biscuits supplied for STOOGE meetings will be somewhat cheaper than SAGE biscuits. In addition, the coffee will be decaffeinated instant coffee to reflect the new status of the group.

More on this story as it develops.
