Government: We need to cut the budgets again.
MoD: We guessed.
Staish: Let's have an air show.
Beancounter: Costs too much, no funds available.
Staish: We'll use our own people, charge for attendance and it will be good for
PR, recruiting and Service charities.
Beancounter: If you have people spare to do non-core business you have too many.
PR is not my budget. We need to downsize, not recruit. Service charities are outside Public Funds.
Public: We never see the Armed Forces doing anything these days, might as well get rid of them.
Government: Ooh, good. More cuts then.
