Seriously, you're a news site, use your contacts (Wut?) to get other news agencies on board. The right (wrong?) press could do wonders with the stages of this saga:

Hostile EU Business Climate Forces British Aerospace Venture To Relocate To US
British Aerospace Venture Being Stymied By US Paranoia?
US Government still Mum On Why It's Holding Back British Aerospace Venture; Is Google Involved?
US Agency Maintains Secrecy Over Fate of British Aerospace Venture
Oh, and the DM version (Just as legit as the rest):
