I think this is just another example of the club being outed as an impersonal, insincere, uncaring and cold organisation. They don't give a single fuck about the people at/in the organisation and everything is done a a means to an end, no emotion, no empathy, keep the illusion going enough to keep the status quo. Like the Wizard of Oz being revealed as just a bloke pedalling away trying to maintain the charade and failing miserably.
Utter, utter cunts to a man.
