The plot is lost
BB - spot on with your post. The real issue here is that the 'population' has been so totally stuffed by the political leadership of the past 15 years. We are only now picking up the pieces. We are led by a 'not fit for purpose' lot of miscreants. Unfortunately ''we'' are left to get on with the mess, that they created. The guys at the top of the defence sectors, are only carrying out the ministers instructions. Some may be good and well meaning individuals, others may not, however, it is their decisions that now creates the mayhem we see, and the 'discussions' on this forum. The harrier bloke stated his piece - well done - if only more of us had the balls to stand up and state what we really feel regarding the method that this country carries out its business - at home and abroad.
