The emptiness of brands and scandal protection

 Last evening Channel 4 interviewed forensic accountant Ian Hederson on the UK Post Office scandal.

The Post Office sacked him because he was getting too close to what was going on.

He said that the Post Office was at all costs going to protect the brand.

Again, so similar to how the Catholic Church has  behaved and most likely how it still behaves. The brand must at all times be protected. And any and all forms of scandal have always been issues with the church.

‘Irregular events’ in the past would take place in churches, maybe even in sacristies,  early in the morning, so that the ‘faithful’ might not be ‘scandalised’.

What was all that about? Any different from the rational of the UK Post Office?
