"Just 250 which a mere fraction/percentage of the military that are being made redundant, come and spend a few days at ISK where a whole RAF skill set is to be removed."
You forgot to mention that the civil servants at ISK and elsewhere where there is a base closure will also lose their jobs as well. The 25,000 civil servants to go is a larger percentage than the service staff who are being made redundant.
As I said in my last post we are all being shafted.
