The last time I checked, PPRUNE was not a MoD run website, or do you really think purdah is intended to prevent individuals discussing changes to rates because it might affect the outcome of the election ?
BGG - Understood; what I was referring to was my earlier post that I edited. I may not have just stuck to the rates discussion and went 'off piste' before a friend reminded me of said purdah. Deleted any political reference.
