Tallsar - I know the procurement process is fundamentally flawed and constantly changing the spec doesn't help at all but both Westlands and BAe have relied heavily on orders from MoD to keep them afloat - why else do so many senior officers retire into jobs with them?
You don't really expect politicians to show integrity and honesty do you?
I would love to see defence properly funded but whilst this Govt is haemorraghing money to prop up banks that should have been allowed to fail that isn't going to happen.
