Following on from my little rant above, I have heard from a friend this morning that the boys and girls on the Typhoon Sqn(s) covering the games at Northolt are NOT ONLY living in bloody tents on base but, just to really pi$$ them all off just a little bit more, are being confined to base during their 12hr 'OFF' period!
WTF is going on here?
Doesn't the RAF hierarchy trust these people any more or what?
Are they so irresponsible that they need to be confined to base? (and Northolt of all places to be confined too)
Like I said, when it suits them, the Armed Forces are little more than pond life to those at the top. Slightly surprised that Sir Stephen hasn't the punch, clout, nouse, whatever to stamp on this. he might be furious but I suspect he will role over and take it.
Good luck to all those in tents. I really can't believe it, but I can see the headlines when it gets out .............

God, I hope it stops raining by then!
