Brian,
I don't know how you would do it, but maybe you might give some consideration to the creation of another thread that concentrates on the campaign and its ultimate goal. IMHO, I feel that this particular, worthy and long-standing thread has of late become somewhat worthless in achievement of the aim. The posts are boring and repetitive, allow retired 'experts' to endlessly postulate their theories, and do nothing to persuade MoD to re-examine the issues. Those within the estabishment will surely be wringing their hands with glee over the never-ending and diversionary arguments that we see on a daily basis. I'm mindful of free speech et al et al, but have we not reached the point, that as far as the campaign is concerned, this thread is becoming counter-productive? Sorry to sound negative, but I think we're not moving forward of late.
