We are relatively free of the problems of status, of precedence, departmental attitudes and evasions of personal responsibility, which create the official cast of mind.

[…] that’ on occasions. Newsnight didn’t say ‘Protheroe isn’t a spook’; or, ‘We’ll check it out’; nor even ‘It sounds unlikely to us, but we’ll bear that in mind’, all of which would have been rational responses.
