Hard to believe that so many posters here seem to be rejoicing at the reduction in total Typhoon numbers. Don't they realise that the money will not be used for other defence purposes but will go instead to one of the bottomless social pits of this government.
Their naivety is only surpassed by the stupidity of those who elected this government for a third term despite their track record.
Even if the money saved could be redeployed to meet today's needs in time to make any difference, it would still leave us wondering if we had the right balance for the future.
You might not like Torpy but he knows a hell of a lot better than you what he is doing.
