Fairford Bolthole?
Maybe this is all a game of extreme brinksmanship, and the only way to get things done nowadays. That would make the head cheeses very, very clever, while giving the impression of being mad cretins.
But if nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through.
It is now policy to re-organise every two years, so a Fairford re-org followed by a Brize re-org would tick the boxes nicely.
