UK NPAS discussion: thread Mk 2

[J.A.F.O.]

I don't doubt that things are cyclical.
I don't doubt that it's a new world.
I don't doubt that many find it scary.
I don't doubt that this is the way that things will move.
I don't doubt that we will have to work in new ways.
I don't even doubt that NPAS will all eventually work out very well.

What I do doubt is that you will ever convince me that the men and women who have worked so hard in whatever capacity to make UK Air Support something of which we can all be proud, deserve to be told that they "don't need to worry about results, that's for someone else to consider".

That is an insult and this is my reasoned and well thought out personal response after a thorough reading and re-reading of your post.

You may know a great deal about Air Support, you may know all about NPAS and comprehensive spending reviews but you know nothing of the people who care so much about what they do every day to help protect not only the public they serve but the bobbies they support. I know how little you understand them because the one thing that I will never doubt is their commitment to providing the very best service that they are capable of within whatever framework they are required to operate.
