[BBI45]

I know that a lot of people will have a lot of differing opinions about how this situation has developed. I am no exception to this, as a couple of close friends here know. However, I do hope for the sake of everyone (from Phillip to everyone who worked alongside him) that people will show some restraint in their reactions.

I am not going to defend Phillip's behaviour, but he will now be paying the price for his actions and the last thing that anybody (especially his former colleagues) needs is to be hounded by the press or the public over what they did and did not know. We have all seen the impact that this sort of behaviour can have.
