Better CBA and improved armour for troop carriers is f@ck all use if the troops are killed whilst being transported to/in/from theatre. Though I suspect you knew that already!!
The beeb are just p-d off that Ch4 got the 'scoop' first.
That said, any publicity is good publicity and I would think a number of top MoD staff and politicos have been reminded that we are watching their painfully slow progress to give our crews (and their pax) the protection they deserve - and for which we have been asking for years!!!
I just hope that they can get the foam and other 'niceties' sorted PDQ as further delays would be unacceptable.
