Articulate, cogent defence of the capability and platform. Now, can you translate it into Sun speak for the wider population cc'd David Cameron.
I too heard what CAS said at ISK. I believe he was quite candid about the meeting he had with the PM a week ago today, more candid than I would expect a politician to be. Quite a dangerous stance to take with a 200+ audience of passionate people about to lose their jobs.
And for all those who think this issue is dead and buried and will just fade away with time, forget it. I'm not naive enough to believe that MRA4 will be resurrected anytime soon,
but the requirement for the capability exists, is relevant, and will increase in the future

Just imagine what they're like if you really annoy them
