To be fair, I'm not sure if he's necessarily told about the nuts and bolts of our problems - I'm sure we can all recall awkward crossed-arms theatre visits from senior blokes, where few flight commander types actually tell the visitor the bad stuff, as opposed to the usual blah about 'everyones making the most of it Sir and our percentages...blah, blah'. If senior bloke walked in and asked 'what are your issues' - which I have heard Torpy has done on occasion - they might be more inclined to open their gobs earlier about stretch. But Torpy tactics don't make for comfortable smiley visits.
And anyway, even if they
did spend...oooh an instant £5bn on defence tomorrow, is that going to stop the exodus that, from what I hear, is increasing in momentum by the day, as more people realise that if they stay
they're the ones picking up the non-existent slack?
This
isn't news gents, it's chickens coming home to roost, having been on the horizon for the past 2-3 years.
