Fair enough answer but through personal experience I know how these things work when an ideology takes over an organisation from the top downwards.

Prove it. I very much doubt this happened. It is more probably that it is just your far right-wing mentality that thinks it did, because you didn't like what was happening.

For example when the IPCC released it's 5th assessment a well known meteorologist emailed me telling me that all at Exeter had been briefed with the 'party line' as it were if approached by the press.

Really. Again, prove it; don't just say it.

I've also heard tales from the inside........

No you haven't. You are now just making it up.

....... that people are scared to show a contrary position inside UKMO as indeed I saw the same thing mentioned the other day for a similar American organisation.

An utterly ridiculous post, which you will fail to substantiate and probably end up throwing your toys out of the pram when you are pressed to.

Substantiating any of this was beyond you; mainly because you simply made most of it up.
