Unfortunately Tim it looks now as if the only way forward is for the project too fail and some other organisation to take the reigns and run it properly.
It certainly seems too have gone to far downhill not just on the money side but on all sides. I am not being a doom and gloom merchant just being realistic, I realise not everybody knows all the facts and that has lead to some wild and some very close to the mark rumours on all the forums which a lot of people have taken offence too but these are the people who now need to sit back understand that it is NOT just about the funding. There are many other issues that need too be addressed.
