Magners,
I think you have had a bit too much of your tipple!
"Well why dont we ground the Nimrod tommorow if that makes people feel any better, that is what people want is it not."
NO, that is not what we are saying ultimately.
"Other aircraft can provide counter terrorism survelliance and coordination and a lot more other things that people do not know. God forbid if London attacks were to happen again, who is going to fly overhead and coordinate things. I guess we would have to buy some new aircraft to provide survelliance and eavsdropping to prevent any home attacks that may happen." YES, other aircraft can! but lack of £££ will force us to keep Nimrod
"Or does the military fly what it has got , make it as safe as possible spend some cash to keep it going on till a replacement is available."
YES, that is what we MUST do, MAKE IT AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE! (NOT as safe as necessary as CAS said)
