That assumes that the 'doubters' are willing to listen. Unfortunately, recent history shows that for many CC BASSA's spin machine is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and any information to the contrary must be suspect. After the audit was carried out, a number of BASSA supporters claimed that it couldn't be trusted because PWC were in BA's pocket. That's the sort of mentality you're dealing with. Even now, the more militant CC are criticising BA for turning down the fantastic deal BASSA offered them.........
