If they'd given themselves enough time rather than working to an artificial (dogmatic) deadline perhaps more of these thing could have been 'thought of' rather than selling the UK air cargo operators down the river (along with the cheese makers, fishing industry and agri-food industry generally).
However that's history, as you quite rightly point out.
