I honestly don't think its a question of misguided loyalty.
Yes we should be asking for a (MASSIVE) increase in the budget, but do you honestly think TB and the rest of the incompetents would dare allow it, there are far more deserving causes, but that's for another debate!
As it seems certain, like night follows day, that we will again be seeing both budget cuts and rising costs, I feel that we have to do the best with what little we have.
If that means the end of the red
PR machine (and I am a fan of them) Then so be it. We MUST be realistic and spend where it is needed most, and that, in these troubled times is
supporting the front line troops of
allthree services.
