Old not bold
i agree with your sentiments but I think the UK needs as trong British airways that does a decent job in terms of supporting business and tourism (inbound) . SoI would let them keep the British but only if they sack wee wilie and his Don Quixote friend as a symboic gesture l and then say if you don't sort yourselves out inside 2 years we are going to take the slots off you.
I think that really would focus the mind
As a country we seem to have a bit of a surfeit of arrogance and incompetence at the top just now
