Yes. Heads should roll over this sort of thing and that includes the ECO's manager who should also be held responsible for the nonsense.

They had the opportunity to rectify their error at the reconsideration stage. But consciously and wilfully chose not to. No error there. For that they need a good thrashing.

Don't forget, it's the lady who is applying for the visa though, not you or I ...and that is their get-out clause when you're talking of 'paying their wages'.
