50-7-11. MetaTab spoke briefly to Sir Allen Fergus yesterday.

[topic: Allegations] Stream: Fergus in silver. ART Logo. Walking rapidly along Fulham Walkway.

MetaTab: Sir Allen! Sir Allen! Might MetaTab ask you a few questions?

SIR ALLEN FERGUS: In a fearful hurry…

MetaTab: How do you respond to the allegations that your candidate, King Arthur, has raised a private army and committed terrorist actions against the state on a number of occasions?

SIR ALLEN FERGUS: I reject these allegations. King Arthur has been moving among the real, the real people in the real country, not the media bubble. The people have, have, they have taken him to their breast. It is true he has recruited a number of National Wagers to assist his election campaign.

MetaTab: Some authorities estimate that number at eighty thousand.

SIR ALLEN FERGUS: I cannot comment upon figures. What is important is that he has given these people back their hope, purpose, and self-respect.

MetaTab: And he has armed them?

SIR ALLEN FERGUS: These are dangerous times, riots, civil disturbance. In my opinion, Arthur is to be commended for taking a firm line with social malcontents and criminals. I think you’ll find that polls place my candidate firmly in the lead. People respect his strong stance.

MetaTab: Isn’t it against the law to recruit a private army?

SIR ALLEN FERGUS: Desperate times require extreme solutions. You must remember that this is not some publicity stunt, this is the real King Arthur—as near as modern science can reconstruct him. He is true to himself: a warrior, not an equivocating and corrupt politician. A dux bellorum. And it is as such that the people want him.
