RLE
Good example, and there are many, many more.
The lunatics who have been running the asylum for the last few years have created this kind of madness. Short term, and often miniscule, savings in one area are praised, whilst the longer term and wider effects are either not recognised or ignored.
Witness the recent case in Barrow-in-Furness. Manager allegedly cancelled maintenance contract to save money, oh well done Missy, you've saved the council some cash. Some time later, oh bugger, we've got an oubreak of legionnaire's disease because we haven't maintained out air conditioing properly.
It's not an MoD example, but I just wonder how relevant it is ?
