Remember the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale about "The Emperors new clothes"??
Does it not rather strike an alarming chord of similarity to the perception of LEA in the light of revelations from this accident.....despite the increasingly strident reassurances of the newly promoted chief Schmoozer......( dont worry Im in charge now...etc)
For the sake of those who dont remember it......here it is.....( perceptive people....these Danes...eh Charlotte?)
Here it is:-
The Emperor's New Clothes" (Danish: Kejserens nye Klęder) is a short tale by Hans Christian Andersen about two weavers who promise an emperor a new suit of clothes that they say is invisible to those who are unfit for their positions, stupid, or incompetent. When the Emperor parades before his subjects in his new clothes, no one dares to say that they don't see any suit of clothes on him for fear that they will be seen as "unfit for their positions, stupid, or incompetent". Finally, a child cries out, "But he isn't wearing anything at all!"
Go figure.....as they say
