Dr Julian Lewis: Who appointed the obviously ineffectual Mr Entwistle as director-general, and what does that choice say about the competence of the people who made it?

What is important now is that we have a new director-general in place who can tackle some real and important issues and a very serious crisis facing the organisation.]
