The way I see this is that The Heathens need to be competetive to keep the gates they have been getting. I think they have stuck by James long enough, although I do feel sorry for him and wish him the best of luck. This team still has Lee Smart, Richard Franklin, Ashley Morris, Tom Perry & Jon Armstrong (although not young). Lee has been given a new lease of life, Richard and Ashley are continuing to progress and Tom is a rising star. In Jon's case then we seemed to be the only team willing to give him a chance. I'm pretty sure that if Will would of had the chance then he would of signed a British rider to replace James but the fact is there is no better British option. Until something is done about the rules then it will kepp happening, so stop having a pop at The Heathens and direct your anger/jealousy/disappointment towards the rule makers.
