I see from a (very) short item on the BBC news this morning that SoS for Def has spent the under-spend on some new toys for the cavalry (Scout armoured vehicles)? I hope they are narrow enough to fit through the streets of downtown Syria/Iraq. Looking at their spec - don't think I'd want to go up against a 'Ukrainian separatist' main battle tank in one! Co-incidentally saves jobs in South Wales in the same week as the Nato conference in...South Wales. Sometimes you'd think this nation's Defence policy was there for spin purposes...
Anyhoo - relating to MPA - the beeb showed a clip of some P3s during the story - did I miss something or was that "see what you could have won"?
