So, unless it really is as bad as some privately say, why are the staff not allowed to talk about it?
Are they perhaps trying to hide an even bigger fur cup?
Maybe it would be easier to accept if this was the 1970s Soviet war machine, where nobody talked about anything. However, the MOD/ASCENT/various business partners keep telling us how well its going.
Why can't we hear it from the horse's mouth?
Is there to be no open and frank discussion on the topic?
No wonder they can't retain staff. I've recently been told that the return of service for the guys holding for a Valley course (with no start date in sight) will not begin counting down until they get to the front line. In practical terms, they have been taken hostage by the UK Armed Forces.
Maybe that's just one reason for the forces of darkness to make them afraid to use the very freedom of speech, that the RAF was formed to defend.
