Thanks Meleagertoo, an excellent answer that explains a lot. I guess the real question is, how do you fix a mess like that? Who’s responsible? Is it the politicians, the civil servants, the top brass or is there plenty of blame to go around?

The previous governments over 20 years, plus the current government prioritizes increased hand-outs to 3rd generation British layabouts and invaders over urgent intervention.
Plus the service chiefs do not want to risk their seats in the Lords.
Simple but appalling.
