The review's main advisers were the board chairman and the engineering officer who sat on the board, what do you expect! They have spent a lot of time concluding one thing, they arent going to suggest it might be another.

Excellent though the review was in many ways, it was very sad to see the criticism of a coroner, who did his job as well as could be expected and came far closer than anyone else to giving the families closure, until Wednesday that is.

At one point H-C slams Walker for saying one thing when if he actually read what he said properly they would have realised he was saying the exact opposite.

It was also sad, given the power he had, that he didnt question ministers. I would have loved to hear Buff's defence!
