I recognise all that you say, which describes very well the culture that was allowed to fester for over 20 years. It emphasises the point I made before. Nothing in what the MAA is doing would have prevented the systemic failures. When people remain scared to meet their legal obligations due to bullying, harassment and withholding promotions by the people responsible for the failures, it is clear where the cull must start. Accepting that it is probably unrealistic to expect Ministers to sack those who still serve, and given these people are the ones who will be determining who is made redundant and not be at risk themselves, the solution in the first instance is to ensure the MAA is truly independent of this system.
Ralph, thanks. And here's me thinking nobody had read it all!
