Hard to see how BT can dismiss people who take the same line as fringe

I spent the weekend at Stratford doing the whole histories cycle ---

VIpt1, VIpt2 and VIpt3 on Saturday and Richard III yesterday.  I'm  
well attuned to hubris, ambition and a refusal to listen to the good  
entreaties of your advisors.
