F-35 announcement to be delayed?

I having just been reading about the Home Office’s latest c**k-up concerning Abu Qatada; after all of this government’s very recent U-turns and knowing what politicians are like, do we really think the government is going to follow that up any time soon with another announcement that is going to open them up to more ridicule and allegations of incompetence? My guess is that there will be no announcement until just before the House of Commons summer recess; of course it could also lead the government to stay with the C as they will probably be out of office before anything connected with this project ever floats let alone has an aircraft on its deck. As Harold MacMillan once said “it’s all about events dear boy, events”!
