Shame on the RN for leaking this to the press. Again.
Stirrup, Torpey and especially Peach have done more than enough to prove their joint credentials. There are those in the RAF who think they have gone too far in their purple approach, at the risk of compromising the light blue service.
Something in the budget has to give. We may not agree with it but those are the harsh realities of life in this Brownite Socialist Utopia.
We need, first and foremost, to have the funds to support the troops in Afghanistan, at the expense of the RN and RAF if necessary. Something has to be chopped. Carriers or Harriers?
