MoD 'breaches Military Covenant' with £250 million allowance cuts - Telegraph

Defence ministers have been accused of the breaching the Military Covenant and double standards after they axed Service allowances that amounted to a £1,400 cut in income for every soldier, sailor and airman.
Having just read that, and the Nimrod scrapping debacle, I'm not sure if WhenUR has grounds for redress, but almost certainly grounds for considering with a fair degree of accuracy that we are 'defended' by self serving careerists, politicians and incompetent hypocrites who you wouldn't trust as far as you could throw 'em.
