And indeed, Diplome, there lies the problem [ooops, sits the problem].
Over the last year or so there has been so many lies [yes, lies such as Cardiff and Shannon] and bullshot emerging from BASSA that they have created a scenario where the first reaction from anyone not at the 'core' is to dismiss ANY statement as a lie.
Ignoring who had lunch with whom, I could believe that BA would indeed employ 'Asset Protection' to ensure the sick, lame or whatever were actually in that condition. Remember the recent case about some guy on Disability Benefits, running the touchline at a Rugby match?
However, I doubt we shall ever hear the full story/stories. Personal confidentiality will be maintained up to the point where 'affirmative action' is taken, and even then we will probably never know.
