Wouldn't it be refreshing if Torpy, instead of giving in to the attack of the media-led morons and shovelling pooh over his hard-working and dedicated subordinates, actually had the b*lls to stand up and support his people. After all, they did nothing wrong and broke no regulations. Their fault, if it is one, was to allow the self-styled experts and royal bashers to attack. If Torpy caves in, he will have allowed that attack to succeed, despite it's lack of substance. Then there will be no end to the self-destructive tail-biting by the RAF and other Services. In the end no-one will dare to put his head above the parapet in any circumstances and the b*stards will have won.
Don't expect he will though, so I'll still consider emigrating.
