News that the Nimrods are being broken up is just sickening. Even if they were mothballed there would be great savings, and a possibility of regenerating them in x years time.
Letting the MRA4 project run its course is not only sensible (why put 600+ on the dole which will cost many millions when its already paid for?) but its the moral thing todo too.
Hangering them until better time's is a no brainer.
This whole so called review is nothing more than a hastily contrived knee jerk cost cutting exercise and bull****ting the electorate into believing the government knows what its doing is downright dangerous. There really does need to be a public enquiry right now before irreplaceable things are lost forever.
