Have been watching Wimbledon and there seem to be an awful lot of uniforms hanging about. Coldstream Guards just signed a One Million pound recording contract. Hundreds of service personnel on Public Duties.
Maybe a reassessment of the priorities would not go amiss. Bit hard to convince the public we are hurting when stuff like the above goes on and men and women are losing their jobs and homes every day.
The 'Publicity' argument no longer washes I am afraid. With the recession, the CIOs are bulging at the seams.
I know I will get shot down in flames but it is about time we thought long and hard about the bells and whistles activities.
If not, we are ripe for plucking and 'totally plucked' we will be!
