MoD will be playing its standard 'Tomorrow's Chip-Wrapper' game. They are counting on the mainstream media being interested in Prezza's Pants and Rooney's Foot, not foam for Hercs. C4 News is one of the few outlets that may actually follow a story up, vide the Chinook thread. Top marks to you boys and girl(s) for some excellent campaigning, though.
I wonder if, to combat the slough of pension-loitering mediocrity that repeatedly survives these scandalous occurrences, we should look at a site dedicated to those taking on the MoD whatever the issue. Experience and expertise gained in one campaign could then be passed on to others. We could even have a "Lessons will be Learned-ometer"! How many times have you heard that old chestnut trooped out by Ingram et al after lives or £M have been wasted?
