[80/20Thinking]

Thanks everyone for your valuable comments.

As before, I can't respond to each and every point made (that's shorthand for saying that I'm overwhelmed with work and don't have enough minutes in the day to do everything I'd like to).

I will however respond to one specific point about the video of the public meeting. We did arrange to have the meeting filmed. That was entirely within our brief. We did not accept liability or responsibility for its broadcast, which would have been a role outside our brief. I apologise if I raised expectations that the footage would be imminently published, but I did genuinely believe it was to be immediately published.

The fact that almost every member of the press had recorded the event in full and that other participants were filming it made me a little more comfortable about the issue of transparency.
