Thumbs down BAES

Sorry to slash on the bonfire here but is everyone forgetting how often we are let down by our own flagship defence contractor?

The chances are it will be late, it will be more expensive and bits won't work as adverised. History has a habit of repeating itself.

I'm all for safeguarding jobs but how many more times do we have to shoot ourselves in the foot? I hope this particular procurement is more tightly controlled than the more recent ones.

(But hey, if someone gets an extra stripe to top up the pension pot then what the hell............?)
