I think that it is wise to await the report before passing judgement. Unfortunately, many (perhaps most) have witnessed what Lord Ben has done at Teesworks and the airport with his resistance to scrutiny so will conclude that there has been a whitewash and he will forever be tarred with the dodgy brush regardless of what the report says. He could have probably avoided the allegations and the brown envelope innuendos if had not resisted the investigations by Private Eye the FT and Yorkshire Post etc. Sadly, his reputation, deserved or not, impacts on our airport.
