This is an outrage in itself but easier to convince the public it's for the best than making the CHF redundant. It's a stinking fudge but that's what they do, right ?
Sorry for commenting on an old post, but please do come on. Does the general public really give 2 flying farts what happens to CHF when they are fighting for their own jobs and financial security. In fact Joe public would be happy to hear that money wasn't going to be spent on defence at all. Lets be fair, in the current climate, unless you are in the job, have been in the job, related to someone in the job or work for AW, BAE or Boeing etc then you won't really care about the MOD or defence.
