1.4G - actually I was talking about the pressure on the Centre not the CS. The fact is that despite some peoples near pathological belief that the CS are here to try and f*ck you over, we really are on your side.
The fact is that in the centre right now, a lot of forces and CS personnel are trying to keep the wheels from falling off and keep the show on the road. I know its easy to target the CS - after all, we've all met little jobsworths in stations who can be a pain, but these people can be found in any walk of life, in uniform or in the CS.
Having listened to several 3/4* figures (both uniform and CS) make quite clear the other day that every MOD CS should be in no doubt that their role is to support the front line, I don't think there is a shadow of a doubt where our priorities lie. Perhaps its time to let go of your baseless predjudices and accept that people are trying to help - even if we are untermenschen for not wearing a flying suit.
