Good luck everyone

So here we are weeks later still waiting for someone to explain the real reason why it is, even in these fiscally challenging times, that we are removing our Island Nation’s MPA capability. I did note on another thread that some are claiming that they have apparently seen the figures to support this fiscally sound decision……hmmmmm, oh you think so; just watch this one unfold without the use of smoke and mirrors, unfortunately when it is all too late.

However, it was good to see that the assessment by the First Sea Lord was quite unambiguous, especially when the AFB public response is only notable by its absence. Apparently, unlike the RN and ARMY, they are above all of this. For goodness sake, why would one want to be quoted in public about the grave misgivings you clearly have with this ill-conceived decision. Obviously better to weave stories of the absolute necessity to maintain a small core of personnel so that we will have shoe-in crews for shiny P8s when the topic has to be revisited at the next SDSR.

Who do you think you are kidding………

Off to walk the dog in the snow,
