We also are grateful for Martin Rathfelder’s wise and principled comments – it was Karen’s idea to give them a wider audience. So Chris, maybe you should thank Karen for being open to democratic debate? Unlike the Trust, of course. I think however, that most people now know the full story, the justice of which is not obscured by the lengthy self-justification posted in a comment at the end of the ‘offending’ interview, to which you refer.

This is very helpful. Referring to the original interview I find an extensive and closely worked up comment/response and I think it would be useful for others to read this also.

I’m not suggesting it is more correct than Karen’s point of view or analysis – like you I have found it pretty hard to get at the full story and I still do not feel I’m there – but it is different.

Best wishes

Chris P
