If any of the headlines are correct this morning - and they are clearly being briefed out from Downing St, and include a number of downright lies on what could and could not be done - it isnt just the public and the media that doesnt understand defence, it's the defence chiefs and the current government. The people who made the complete looney tunes decision to keep going with aircraft carriers but to scrap the only aircraft we have that can fly off them should not be allowed anywhere near any major decision. Ferrets fighting in a sack and trying to do each other down at the expense of the overall package. This isn't lions led by donkeys, it's lions led by headless chickens.
