To be fair to Lord Butler, he has made some relevant criticisms of the government and its methods.
Andrew Gilligan’s story was in essence that the intelligence world was alarmed at the way some of their data was being treated; they were sometimes ignored and tougher language was put in at the behest of Downing Street.
His political life has been on the line, and Lord Butler, conceiving that it is not his job to end the Prime Minister’s career, has stayed his hand.

And Sir Lucan, the butler, and Sir Bedivere raised him up, and gently led him betwixt them both to a little chapel not far from the sea-side.
And Sir Lucan went to see what that cry betokened; and he saw by the moonlight that pillers and robbers were come to rob the dead.
Then Sir Lucan took up the king on the one part, and Sir Bedivere on the other part; and in the lifting, Sir Lucan fell in a swoon to the earth, for he was grievously wounded.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Insert: Lucan's position at Arthur's court was arranged by his father, who knew that his youngest son had niether the lands nor the touch of Fey that would give his elder boys power.
His combat skills are among the weakest possessed by a Round Table knight, but this is rarely apparent as Lucan choses his battles wisely and is a master of the art of looking good while losing.

 EBK: Arthurian Literature: Sir Lucan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Sir Lucan was a son of Duke Corneus and probably maternal half-brother of Sir Bedivere.
He took on the post of Royal butler - an important position in charge of the Royal Household rather than a serving man. He valiantly defended Arthur's right to the throne at the Battle of Bedegraine and probably against subsequent rebellions.
Worried about looters on the battlefield, Lucan and Bedivere attempted to move the dying Arthur into a nearby chapel for safety; but the strain was too much for Lucan.

 Lucan's Style
About the relative position of Lucan and Valerius there is no doubt.
Lucan is incomparably the superior of Valerius, both in genius and intellect.
But Valerius never sins against taste and reason to the same extent, and though he has less fire, possesses a finer ear for music and rhythm, and more poetic feeling as distinct from rhetoric.

In A.D. 60, on the first occasion of the celebration of these games, the prize was won by Lucan with a poem in praise of Nero.[45] Vacca, in his life of Lucan, states that this lost him Nero's favour, the emperor being jealous of his success.
As for the deaths of Seneca and Lucan, the two most distinguished writers of the day, though both perished at Nero's hands, it was their conduct, not their writings, that brought them to destruction.
Their literary value was, according to Plutarch, by no means high;[108] it was sacrificed to the music and the dancing, for the emotional effect of which Lucian can scarcely find sufficiently high terms of praise.[109] The themes appear to have been drawn from the more lurid passages in mythology and history.

 Lugodoc's Guide to Malory's Le Morte Darthur - book 21
The Trinity Sunday night before they were due to battle again near the seaside outside Salisbury, Gawaine, flanked by all the lovely ladies he had ever saved, appeared to Arthur as he dozed, and told him to delay the battle for a month while Launcelot came to his rescue.
As Arthur and Mordred (each flanked by an honour guard of fourteen) met to bargain on the field between their hosts, an adder bit a knight on the foot, and as he drew his sword to kill it the worst was assumed and soon the Battle of Salisbury (Arthur's eleventh and last) had accidentally started.
By evening the field was strewn with a hundred thousand dead and very few living other than Arthur, the badly injured brothers Lucan and Bedivere, and Mordred, but at last Arthur had his recreant son in his sights, and taking his spear from Lucan he went to kill him.
