In the civilian world such a monumental cock up would have led to instant dismissal and possibly other implications.
Working Hard, I take it you mean the banking sector, which the Government has contrived to prop up for the past decade and now throws another £200bn down its gullet to support its failure. That's the sort of failure I like.
I agree there should be sackings for failure, but don't try and make out the civilian world is any better than the military. Let's face it most of the equipment overspends are down to civilian companies not being up to the job, and the military having to plough on through political expediency.
Also, if anyone thinks this will be any different under the Tories I'm afraid you live in cloud cuckoo land - look how quiet they are being on this subject, let's hear what Liam Fox and Dave C propose.
