I am an individual who is a UK Barrister. I was involved in the Lloyd's litigation and in pressuring Lloyd's both over the PCW fraud and the disastrous early years of the 1990s. I also found out that the Automobile Association (AA) was a membership organisation and when I enquired further I discovered no one had ever stood for the Executive Committee - membership of which was it seems always by self appointment. The Committee held the power of vetoing candidates however felt I should stand having made prior criticsm of the system and was duly vetoed by the Committee. At the next General Meeting support was gained and eventually the AA conceded that there should be member representation - but by that time an offer had emerged from Centrica Plc.
