To be fair, these new articles seem to be spouting forth the same stuff all over again without offering anything particularly new or surprising. The "leaked document" has been wrung through pretty thoroughly and, again, the WVR manoeuvre shouldn't have come as much of a surprise - we even had our very own rehearsal of it here a couple of years ago. None of these "kill the programme" articles seem able to suggest an alternative, so how helpful are they, especially if you look more than a few years ahead?
I still wonder - for reasons I've stated here many times - if this was the right basket for all our eggs, but it's here now and there is little in the way of another way forward for now.
