There are already rumblings in the media about the firms of certain financial backers appearing to have not done badly out of SDSR, which if true sits (for me) somewhere on the continuum between insider trading, corruption and treason.
Interesting...

My view of the SDSR was that the outcomes were intellectually incoherent...with cockup over conspiracy as the driving force.

Three factors in play..

1. The key political players LF, DC & GO (and their advisors) know the square root of **** all about matters military.

2. The MOD input was just a vehicle for the services to fight each other (absoloutely no change there then!)

3. The military industrial complex had its foot firmly in the door, waving contracts about like confetti.

If it turns up (not that "it" will ever be allowed to "turn up"), that the third factor from the list above was the key determinant and that vested individual financial adgendas were in play...then I am in your gang.

Treason.
