I find it difficult to believe, not to understand. It is difficult to believe. Sadly, because of what Mr. Conlon said, because of our practice of covering everybody's ass or, to put it another way, give people the dignity and respect they want, provided they are on this side of the table, for the people on that side of the table, that is, the people ponying up the cash, it seems we have no respect for them. The outcome of this will be what is always the outcome after the 2022 experience. The witnesses are all going to blame it on systemic failure and the merry-go-round will move on to the next security hut or the next bicycle shed. By the way, who decided to face the shed towards the weather as opposed to sheltered towards the wall?
