Great leadership from Deputy Chief of Staff (Personnel). Mus'nt grumble, its a priviliage to serve NuLab, mus'nt upset them incase they give us nothing!!

Absolutely had it with this government. Dithering, shambolic and treating those at the sharp end of their failed foreign policy with utter contempt.

Lets face facts; CPI in Sept 08=5% so we should get around that mark, shouldnt we?

The economy is proper fecked, the Govenor of the Bank of England has told Broon & his Darling to stop spending cash and no more tax cuts. Head of the EU has said its reckless for Govt's to try to spend our way out of trouble....

Que more dithering on release of the AFPRB, I perceive the mother of all shaftings coming on.

All public sector workers, will get a below inflation pay rise, ourselves included, however, I think we will get marginally more than nurses, police and the fire shirkers. This will be dressed up as a 'special case for the armed forces' due to Herrick/Telic, as they are 'the best in the world' (as its suits NuLab's doublespeak to say so). Off course, this will be offset by above average Food/SLA/FQ charges.

Our 'leaders' will be placated by Uncle Gordy giving them a bit of praise and a wee pat on the head and we will be told not to whinge, or to paraphrase our ex-CinC STC/Air, "....if you dont want to go to Glasgow, get off the train".

Should people start writing to their MP demanding answers?
