Ears, old son!
Sounds like it's time for a letter to that bastion of HM forces - the SUN!
Unfortunately, there seems to be only one way to get this govt to do anything - shame them. (and even that doesn't work most of the time as they are so arrogant!)
I have never witnessed a bunch that are more self-interested than this lot - and that's accepting that in general, all politicians are as bad as each other. I hope the nation makes em all redundant at the next election - whether it's the General Election or through the local election of MPs.
