Gnd,
Copy that, but I don't necessarily wish to turn this into a Westlands bash, it's been done by people far more articulate and knowledgeable than I. The issue is that a news story like this has been fired into the press, I would suggest, because of exasperation with the system giving people like buffoon the time of day. Every time I've gone down to westlands I've always come away checking for my wallet and phone.
Maybe the chickens are coming home to roost?
