Shouldn't there be one of those smiley things after that?

In the old days, there used to be competition over who had the the most ironclads/dreadnaughts. Is the competition now who can cut their Budgets the most and fastest? One of those aims looks more flawed than the other.

If the Sunday Times is using flawed stats to sell tickets to Joe Public for a trip on the outrage bus, is that such a bad thing?




Well I've not only bought a ticket for the outrage bus, but a first class one for the clinically depressed one. I'm afarid I can't help seeing the R.A.F. past through flame rose tinted bins. I still daydream about the Silver Jubilee show at Finningley in 1977 and devote time to trying to figure how the clock can be wound all the way back there.

However, Trim Stab old fruit, surely the point is that while these new concerns are demanding of attention enough. The truth is they are additional concerns to address, not replacement ones?
