“The WDF is the ADO’s boss.”
Really?
Those words are found on the ADO website in an opus by Director of Operations Steve Brown. It presents supposition that the reader is asked to accept as incontrovertible truths. Goebbels school of propaganda on display.

Why “Oscillation”?
Dart politics. Boring?
A UK dart fan questioned the ODC’s coverage of the WDF. “You (The ODC) obviously have a gripe with (the) WDF on historical grounds.” The thinly veiled implication (accusation) was that the ODC had not treated the WDF fairly.
