VP959,

BTW, is that a Devon? Might have flown in it.


....."and that what dosh there was has been savagely cut."........


Sorry mate, that simply is not true, an extra £2billion last year, an extra £500million for Iraq and Afghanistan and the leak of the Cabinet spending review promising real term increases of 1% per annum for the next three years.

What we need is what is changing, priorities and emphasis are changing. The changes are being driven by guys in Khaki and light and dark blue.

Overspend on many major procurement 'big ticket' items and a DLO and DPA who couldn't organise a fun night in a brothel and boozer?

That's a different matter!
