This is the conversation that should have happened at media control central:
"You want me to say what to the papers? I think not Sir, I'll ring my poster on Monday."
Not:
"Absolutely sir, the Microsoft defence will work every time - blame the users for not knowing how to use an already flawed and under performing system. I'm sure no-one will worry about me calling them imbeciles and luddites. Promotion sir? I'd be delighted."
It's called integrity, something this particular Senior Officer clearly has little of.
Then again CAS thinks JPA is a good example of NEC in non-operational systems - if that's the case God help us when we get NEC in operational systems.
