Fundamentally, though, the MoD is broke .....
Ok, I can just about cope with that fact. But one thing I cannot get my head round in any way shape or form is this:

We, the British taxpayers are paying more and more and more in taxes. Whenever anybody dares to put up the idea about tax cuts or mention a review of spending (I seem to remember this was the automatic response to the recent suggestions about cutting inheritance tax), they automatically go on the offensive about how much extra they are spending on various things - NHS, education, defence, CT/CN etc and which services would we like decimating to fund such a cut.

So, with all these billions being poured into various projects, here is my question: Mr Blair, would you care to explain why, when you are pouring billions into various projects, are all the organisations that have to work with this administration fundamentally bankrupt? Just what exactly are you doing with OUR money? Would you care to explain or would you prefer an investigation into misappropriation of funds?
