TBM I bet Gerard is a really decent bloke that has found himself part of a system that he has never experienced before.
He would have had the decision to answer my letter taken from him.
They have a weak minister who they know will not stand by them if they make changes. And standing out as an individual would be a career ending move.
Just imagine the low morale of working for the organisation. If you stood up as an individual for what was right you would likely be destroyed by the group think of the worker collective.
Let's hope it can be fixed before lives are lost.
