Nimrod should have been axed years ago, along with the crusty idiots in the Mod who decided it would be better value than the yanks airborne early warning system, the cuts need to be in the Mod where the rot is. When I think of the billions these Muppet's wasted on crap equipment it makes my blood boil.

When your forces need a particular piece of equipment, & its available to buy over the counter, only a complete idiot would opt for a different & inadequate version, then spend more billions trying to get the thing to work.

The Mod is as bad as the NHS for buying crap, then spending more in a vain attempt to get it to work.

I would double the number to 50.000 civil servants, & leave the forces alone.
