yes - that's where we are .

All the intentions, plans, aspirations, desires etc etc have hit the hard rock that there isn't enough cash

Just look at UK F-35 purchases for another wonderful illustration of how economic reality imposes itself on MoD plans

This will continue until we either decide to tax people a lot more to pay for what we want OR

we decide on what we can afford and then cut our "needs" accordingly
