How can they properly be called an 'independent' commission? Some of them seem to have made their mind up before they even started.

To me it's a bit like asking a Manchester United supporter to conduct an 'independent review' of a game featuring Manchester United.

Tim: I too wondered what was meant by "independent"! I agree that they already have made up their minds. It is ridiculous to set up an inquiry into something intended not to be inquiried into.
