Post BACH'S ORGAN WORKS. OR DOES IT??

The local rag quotes DPA Minister Lord Bach as saying "Air-to-air refuelling is a key military that has proved its worth repeatedly in military operations over the last 2 years".

Last 2 years, eh, Barbara? Try decades you d*ckhead. Ever heard of OP CORPORATE or OP GRANDY??

But it makes the present government's love affaire with the bo££ocks of PPP look even more ridiculous. Why the hell should such a 'key military capacity' be farmed out to mercenary 'Service Providers' if the worth of it has been repeatedly proven? If Italy can afford 4 or 6 brand new tankers, why can't the UK? Especially if Hoon has just pinched £1.2B from the Tornado replacement budget!!

Or have they spent all the UK's spare cash on nonsense like the wretched Mandeldome?
