The main problem that this industry has is a lack of openness - why is it that only a third of contributors put their name on there?
Those "anonymous" posters are the more vitriolic - disappointingly unsurprising. If you want to expose the corruption in the market, and yes, there is definitely activity that falls foul of the Bribery Act 2010 then it's time to stand up and be counted.
