Beats moving into a substandard quarter.
Kev Nurse, and their lies the rub. Indeed would an essentially civilian employee actually want to live inside a guarded and gated compound, one where friends and relatives have to book in at a guardroom after showing a passport or driving licence and then brave armed guards to get to visit them?
And the service family issue. Sorry. If there is a welfare issue the service has enough difficulty delivering a service to its own personnel and not the entire baggage train. There is SSAFA and RAFA and RAF Benevolent Fund. In this case I think housing was a factor not a potential solution. I think Boris made quite clear she does not want help or handouts she wants a proper wage.
