Tough times ahead for the services across the board. Sad to see the Harrier go (and indeed the cuts as a whole), but what choice was/is there?
I dont think the comment by Lt Cdr Ward was ideal - many about to feel the effects of cuts in most areas. Simply put (and yes it is being said plenty) we are broke due to years and years of overspend, and genius moves like Gordon Clown selling of our gold reserves when gold was at it's lowest price for 1000 yrs. Its not Cameron/Coalitions fault...
