I actually don't think that anything said was out of order. These 'rumours' of Aston Martin etc have been flying round for ages, I'd say that they did Mr Baronn a favour by bringing it to his attention so he could refute the allegation.
He has a very valid point though when he takes issue with Mr Baroon re the fact that Mr Barrron states his bonus depends more on the well being of the company - if he can srcap our pension for a cheaper alternative, then the company will, financially, be even better off and this will, therefore, look better when it comes to handing out the bonus.
To say the two are not linked is complete fabrication.
Mr barron has a history of closing pension schemes (whilst getting a hand out to cover his own pension), and of cutting up companies into saleable pieces (Alstom anyone??).
Is it just me being paranoid, or does anyone else find it suspicious that this man - a good friend of Tony Blair by the way - was given the top job at NATS at the same point in time as Labour (Our skies are not for sale), sold us and saddled us with debt?
NSL is being set up as a seperate entity - anyone denying that is blind. The reasons for this could be numerous, however the coincidences regarding Barrons' track history, his friendship with Labour top dogs, and the obvious benefit (in a purely cynical, financial sense) of selling of a large part (or all) of NSL is just to much for my little brain. Our skies are not for sale can so easily be changed to our airports are not for sale - just change the puppet master; Barron, not Blair and the year ;2008, not 2000.
Any erosion of trust and goodwill is entirely down to what has gone before with a history littered with broken promises
