That would be Señor Portillo. So perhaps the word 'mincer' is somewhat apt?

When Portillo's deal with Annington was savaged by the National Audit Office in 1997, it found that the MoD had wasted £139m of public money in the £1.7bn sale.

The NAO also said that Portillo knew from his department's own figures that over 25 to 30 years it would have paid to retain ownership, selling only quarters that were surplus......

At least it's only a 999 year lease so we get them back in 2995....

273% increase in 4TG charge

My OMQ is a band B which I have been informed is being graded a band C under CAAS.
In a nut shell my 4TG element of quarter charges are going up 273%!
I estimate I will lose almost £2K a year because of this. Galling as our pay has not kept up with even inflation since 2007/8 and I can't get them to replace the seals around the doors even though in a reasonable wind outside my hair looks like a hair advert if I stand close to it :-)
Why aren't they just honest and say this is a money grabbing exercise? More 'double double plus good speak' from DIO. Why aren't the cmd chain saying anything/ looking after their troops (I know the answer but I can only hope that someone has a pair)

I will be challenging but would appreciate any PMs of others experience/ outcome?
