I always worry when I see these grand commissions that they are full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. The UK govt has a long and grubby history of promising change via investigations and commissions that take so long that finally all who knew anything are dead, yet the system carries on unchanged.

We are still investigating the Bloody sunday massacre, 35 years after it happened. Jean charles de Menezes is 3 years dead and we're still holding inquiries. I can cite loads of other examples.

I fear the same thing here: A lot of politicians whose success in the world is based on the way the world worked last year and last century and who every instinct is to do all they can to preserve last year and last century have no vested interest in creating anything that might be different and therefore not work to their advantage.
