Quite ...... but if successive Govts have not given the kit you need to support the programme, let alone contingencies, then you are stuffed.
Re your last point of convincing the Politicians that that's what they wanted all along, that assumes the politicians are able to grasp even fairytales!
This cheery missive popped up for me. Basically it says the current political battles within the Cabinet threaten any chance to rebuild the Armed Forces given Rachel from Accounts attitude.
It's an absolute farce!
TBH, I suspect most of us agree the above +/- a bit. To blame VSOs is somewhat deflecting the blame from the real culprits in Westminster - over many decades. As I pointed out to my Green MP in a recent exchange, as an MP, he shares responsibility to ensure adequate national defence is provided. Silence! Wonder why?
No wonder the Quack gloomily advised me that I have very high Blood Pressure just last week!!!
