Glojo,
I can see why it's easy to be highly cynical about MPs only doing 22 days a year, but personally I see it as a good thing. 22 days is more than long enough to realise that a military held together by duct-tape is the price we've paid for EMA and all other such socialist bullsh*t.
When her night flight gets cancelled a couple of times in a row because the a/c is u/s, she may begin to question why that's an everyday occurrence.
But then again, maybe unicorns will jump to the rescue and naked glamour models will smother the entire crew nearly to death. Either way, exposing MPs to the real state of the miliary, for however short or long, can only be a good thing in my mind.
But we digress...F35 and all that good stuff
