Agree with this but I wonder how active Holgate is on picking speakers. Would be interested to know who thought RF would be suitable? Did someone actually speak to her - surely some basic preparation like a 5 minute phone call would have identified the lack of knowledge about ME.

The speaker is 100% responsible for what they saidIt all feels rather Afmeish to me. It isn't wholly fair to blame the speaker. More a question for the organiser and her supervisor.
I agree it's not acceptable but I wonder why you single out juniors.

Edit: One should also take responsibility for being more verbose than Nellie.
I'll shut up then. One cannot put a benign interpretation on that.
o it was me that was verbose. (post 26)
Of course we plebs have no way of knowing whether anyone actually asked any questions because of the format. It is highly unsatisfactory.For me it is not so much an issue of people saying things like this. We all have to learn. What is wrong with that meeting is that nobody senior quietly and subtly points out in questions that the speaker has just made an arsehole of themselves by talking through their trousers.
@phil_in_bristol is on the PAG and indeed introduced DT at the CMRC so could speak to what feedback is solicited and given on the events
