I find it hard to see anything around this issue in Scotland as "inevitable". I listened to the committees about the GRR and they had some input from the Sandyford. It wasn't even ideological, just woeful.
Agree about the worldwide implications. Not instant, but it will spread. Countries may still want to do their own research but they wont want to be seen to do a worse job than Cass. And she did a very, very good job.
