How can the armed forces be equipped to meet real threats?
since the FCO and Intelligence services have seamed to fail to identify what wars were end up in its a bit tricky. Add to the equation the treasury wanting to claw back as much money as it can. Then put in a civil service that sees its self as all important and now politicised by special advisers working to a 5 year plan to get the government re-elected and you see the mess unfold.
The solution according to Gray Privitise oh yes with Lord Grey as CEO bring in civilian management consultants to run projects oh yes management consultants who will create more jobs for managemen consultants.
The procurement system like the rest of the armed forces is broken and needs fixing without the political interference or inter departmental fighting that seams to infest the public sector in the UK at the minite.
Do we privitise and have KBR or someone like that run it? what if BAE end up buying the company that runs British defence procurement?
It should stay an MOD function but with much reform and with a reformed civil service.
