Interesting. Seems to be a rehash of the BA article and editorial. I wonder if they actually spoke with M Pitts?
And your question is interesting in itself.
Either they did, and they're now into "admitting a lot more" mode, or Mr Pitts has come to the same conclusion as HA and we're no longer lone scaremongers.
It's got to be one or the other and I don't really mind which it is.
Opinion is definitely shifting.
