        @MRL33B @BBCBreaking @edballsmp cos Ballsy f-ed up the original disciplinary action. If he did things legally, then we'd still be £600k up.

        @drkimholt @edballsmp @BBCNews Five years on and it still rumbles on. Errors of judgement from the start in how to respond to Peter's death?

        @BBCBreaking @edballsmp @BBCNews The reason PF exists is pretty much thanks to the lack of a robust process of inquiry post Peters death.
