With apologies to William Shakespeare, methinks Bain doth protest too much (“Bain hits back over ban on bidding for public-sector deals”, October 13). “We believe”, it declared, “that the decision to restrict Bain SA is fundamentally flawed”. And that it is sorry. Sure.

To Bain SA and some apparently sycophantic corporate elites, I would like to echo Ray Charles’ classic Grammy-winning rhythm 'n blues composition by Percy Mayfield: “Hit the road, Jack, and don’t you come back/No more, no more, no more, no more.” Get it?
