London allowance to go

So another shaving away of the peripheral benefits and another squeeze on staff that have had enough:

BBC News - Ministry of Defence cuts armed forces' London allowance

Doesn't seem to square with other news articles detailing financial impropriety to the tune of £5bn!

BBC News - MPs brand compulsory armed forces job cuts 'grotesque'

Good job the hard working middle ranks can contribute their London allowance to the spending black hole. I especially like that the decision is made by those senior grandees who tend to live in grace-and-favour property with a driver and possibly access to a 'private' jet! They probably find their costs actually decline living in London with all the free stuff!

At least corporals and below are spared...
