There have been a number of cases recently in the Universities (Swansea, anyway) & in the NHS of professionals (Academics, Doctors or Nurses)* who have spoken up in public to reveal what they believe to be the truth about how the institution is falling far short of its ideals, in respect of their own professional responsibilities, and have been sacked as a result.
I don't recall those sorts of things happening before.
It fits, though, with
(a) the commercialisation of the NHS (since** revealing a commercial concern's weaknesses to its rivals is clearly disadvantageous to its future success);&
(b) the apparent attempt to reduce education to objectively measurable results, even at the highest levels.***
Both these trends suggest****
movement onto the Outer Circle.

19910511:1817
I haven't dreamt about extending the [preserved] Railway for years, so far as I recall. In the dream this morning I remember seeing that the young trees along and beside the trackbed across the valley from [C] had all been cleared;* saying rather regretfully to a railway operative that I had let my subscription lapse, twice in fact,** which was a pity as I had been one of the earliest members, joining originally back in 1959;*** & finally, seeing that the railway had reached [K] or may be a little beyond, asking: so you'll be pressing on through the (rubbish) tip,**** then? (Or words to that effect) – which the railway member confirmed they would.#
*([B] informed me of this a little while ago)
**(This is correct)
***(This might not be correct [although the writer joined the Society very early after its formation, and was, as a child, a passenger on a special train along the southern part of the line, arranged in connection with the Society's formation])
****(There is a cutting filed with rubbish between [K] & [T])
