My simple take on it is - that sort of environment is simply not healthy for wives and children. It boders on slum accomodation. Would the PM or any of our 'caring' MPs house the wife and kids in there? Not effing likely. If you tried to house immigrants in there the whole housing issue would be headlines because they would complain!
The bloke who said about moving another stations personel to Brize without a plan was spot on, the MOD cant even look after those based at Brize - its a national disgrace.
