The scandalous cock up that has been the so-called enquiry is just another example of establishment inertia and inability to clear up its own mess.

Resources that previous - less glamorous groups - such as the residents of Children's homes, could only dream about.

What happened to the football people is a daily occurrence in all walks of life. My only hope is that people don't see it as a football or Rochdale or Oxford problem. It is everywhere. I quite like Slade. It's not their fault radio jocks lack imagination or wit.
