Think of the muddle you can get into by being "non specific and indirect" about claims of harassment, bullying or discrimination.

You have the Deputy Prime Minister saying today/last night – wait for it – "he received indirect and non specific concerns" about Lord Rennard and then asked his Chief of Staff to talk to the Lord concerned about these "indirect and non specific matters".  Hmm, about what did they talk about precisely????? A warning was then apparently given by the Chief of Staff to the then Chief Executive that such "indirect and non specific behaviour" was unacceptable!!! Huh?

Indirect and non specific-we talk of little else in Salford!!! Am I missing something?
