Changed my mind. I'm going to add an update: Daniel Boffey of the Observer, who is (or whose suetidbor is) responsible for both the early momentum and the early mistakes, based on . Basically on the side of the angels, but (as it currently stands) mangled to the point where a line from the protest letter is attributed to Professor Rick Rylance. I think this backs up my interpretation of the first Obs snafu. The alphabetical list of signatories to the protest letter seems to be missing H to Z. I wouldn't be on it anyway, I'm afraid, as I didn't see the call for signatures in time. The 2300+ signatures on the are probably a better guide to scale of support.
