25 Squadron question.

After going through the book Tornado:Multi-role Combat Aircraft by Jon Lake/Mike Crutch, there seemed to be a certain animosity towards 25 Squadron being chosen to reform as the final RAF Leeming Tornado squadron at the time. My question is was this animosity warranted towards this former Bloodhound unit? Is the myth true that 25 Squadron had some former members in “high places” that dictated it being chosen over a “more historically significant” RAF squadron? Just curious.
