It is the usual suspects the usual hacks. No I did not get on, Neuro
diversity in the narrow denominative sense is not represented and I don't
trust the usual suspects at all, but then whoever they appointed I would
probably feel the same.
Of course the usual suspects will vigoursly defend themselves, they always
do, wouldn't you? but I feel that it is those who are already in the system
who rise and remain in it, merely because they are known quantities and can
write better CV's than you or I.
