Well done Sir for sticking your neck out. Let's hope you don't get your head shot orf!

However, it is sad that this situtaion has been utterly predictable for so long.
Shame on those who could have said something much, much earlier but did not.

Dallas is right in that it is those that are left pick up the pieces - my main regret about leaving - an analogy of rats and sinking springs to mind!

However, like many other 'rats', we figured out that staying aboard the MoD Titanic was not a clever option. I hope 'Captain' Stirrup can avoid the iceberg - or perhaps its too late and the best he can hope for is for a successful lifeboat launch?
