the Monday Musings column from that consultant bloke

Since last week I have been doing a bit of digging into the history, and, to some extend, I have answered a few of the questions that were bothering me, but I have also exposed new ones. I doubt that I will ever get to the bottom of it all, but it has passed a few hours of my week.

Something that is bothering me is the lynch mob mentality that is running rampant. Yes, the former CEO has questions to answer. This happened on her watch and she has to accept responsibility, but what did she know? The short answer is what she was told. Some people are guilty of something here, but what exactly? Fraud, theft, perverting the course of justice? I don’t know.

What I do know is that this needs to be properly investigated. The public enquiry has achieved little other than to line the pockets of lawyers, and others. We need a proper investigation, not another lynching. The problem will be in trying to get to the bottom of it all, and in sorting out between those whose job performance was not up to scratch and those who may be guilty of some crime.
