A nicely growing profit announced; isn't it time the predictably brain dead media actually praised the progress and development of this group instead of the usual grumbling knocking? When Institutions are shit, the media either doesn't notice or chooses to ignore it (like the British Judicial System). When it gets back on its feet, media sneers and knocks.
