True, very true...but trying to overstretch ourselves with our forces, especially whilst cutting down on them at the same time is a receipe for disaster and effects both the morale of the forces, and the morale at home. Admittedly this is not helped by the gutter press who'll take any opportunity to find dirt to dish, regardless of who they dish it on, so long as it sells papers....although to be fair, in some cases, such as this, they help to bring the publics attention to what a poor state of affairs we are in. The government has always been about quick fixes, particularly recently with Blairs departure...all the **** that hits the fan will be dealt with by Gordon and Blair knows this.
Still...we are heading in the right direction with the Type 45s and the Astute projects...but it's just knowing that half the current order will probably be scrapped before the third sub is even built, likewise the T45s....then more money will be thrown into the black hole of the NHS, instead of putting in a solid framework to insure the money that is put in doesn't go straight into a luxary yacht for a fat cat. Likewise the railways and roads....and don't even get me
started on the 2012 olympics
