Not a cat on stilts wearing a trench coat. Definitely not a cat. Much less, a ringtail (aka the Miner's Cat). No, sir-ee!

Desperation. They hear the siren song of "if I throw other people under the bus I might be spared". It's stupid, but as the pressure gets more extreme more people's brains will switch off

Unfortunately for them, the judgment was unexpected and they are reduced to using that line as the government did. Actually as I know from a mole in their ranks we have had for "some time" they have doubts about their positioning generally. I recall how Germany list ww2 by overreaching into Russia.
