Well, heaven forfend that any of our young people should have to face up to any of the harsh realities of life, like accountability and, dare I say it, criticism.

It strikes me that following on from the reactions to the Panopticon Fiasco and other Mid Pennine Arts jamborees, you might have guessed that there would be a degree of negative reaction and criticism. But you blithely went ahead and encouraged their participation. Did you not consider putting a bid in for Lottery cash to cover the outlay on ear plugs and blinkers for the poor little darlings?

Your comments and scruples strike me as nothing more than excuses, Gayle, which become ever flimsier and more threadbare with every repetition. Sadly, I do not think that I will be alone in holding that opinion.
