No John, no. NO! I am not accusing you.
I suppose what I really wanted to say is that 'we' are all colluding
by accepting, or arguing to accept, arrangements that have been
shown to be a) corrupt, and b) not in the best interest of GPs.

My problem is that the establishment isn't listening. This, despite
imminent advice from people like you.
There comes a time when the establishment needs to be told, by those
who have its ear, stop, think and start again. There comes a time
too when one has to concede that the establishment has become a
dinasaur, in that case, one has to look elsewhere for the models
that endured or those that have good evolutionary potential.

I know you personally. I do not think you will follow the party line
willingly. Yes, I would add my voice to your 'not guilty' plea :-)

So who do they actually listen to?

Pursuit of the facts in this, and other related matters, is going
to be my playground for some time!
The reason I am leaving the LURG is my perception that most of the
stuff discussed there really hangs on what is happening nationally.
A sense of anger overcomes me to feel that local solutions seem to
depend on national ones. A kind of "Catch 22" really.
I do not have ready answers or solutions. May be what I am trying to
do is to saw a seed, nurture a nucleus or start a revolution that
will take us towards the solutions that we seek and deserve.
The frontal attack ain't working. Time to out manoeuvre, plan a
flank assault or.... ??!!
