What's all this shit about coroners and cremated? Are you being literal through bloody mindedness or lack of mental capacity? Either way it isn't impressive. The investigations I either carried out or assisted in came from either coroner rule 43 (now superceded) or concerns from NPSA (now NRLS.) Dead bodies and the work of coroners were irrelevant other than cause for investigating systemic issues. This work is carried out these days by CQC n England if such things interest you.

Last week you decided to compare wartime leadership with health care leadership. I totally agreed with you, which seemed to piss you off. I then (above) took the analogy further to say cemeteries full of dead soldiers or full of dead patients and everybody saying how good the leadership was. Grounds for concern.

I don't investigate incompetence in military circles but for me, the huge daily casualties, red tops patrolling behind the lines, the lies being spread to encourage faith in the military and the white feathers all add up to enough to investigate.

And people have.

And incompetent indifferent leadership has been found wanting.
