My point is that the Troops will be affected and be impacted almost immediately because they have very limited protection from these sort of events, the CS on the other hand will only eventually be impacted after no doubt several rounds of "consultations" with their Union.
Its the fairness of it all that stinks to me, every Government in history (well as long as I can remember) have said they will sort out the Civil service, and never have, in the end they pick on the easy targets, in this case the Lads, its just another kick in b&ll$cks for the military and it will be the Privates, Seamen and Airmen who get the worst of it , not those sitting in RAF Buckinghamshire
