That's £14000 that could have been poured into the NHS........😏
Given that local councils up a and down the land have also shed jobs, should we not spend money of leisure facilities such as swimming pools, football pitches or parks, oh I forgot everyone would be up in arms about that too!
Another case of a complete non story and understanding the value of nothing but the cost of everything.
The country was so proud of our servicemen who participated in the Olympics and Paralympics but heaven forbid we spend any money on sport.
As usual some of the comments are pretty bitter towards the RAF from former army/navy types, I did not realise that the RAF was the only service playing sport, how lucky we are
