Worry if they announce a new camo pattern. =))

Saw it on another forum - I didn't read it all but got the gist that only at the last minute did the powers that be realise the 4% cut were in fact 8-10%

unbelievable

Watched it earlier on Central.

But Hey, the government have informed us not to worry, they are going to invest in new hardware for the RAF pretty soon.
They have a choice of 10 to pick from.

That beggars belief........................ :-o

HMG might as well scrap the entire armed forces in one go rather than whittle it away bit by bit........... ~x(

Yeah, and most of the ATC want a job in the RAF and if it carries on like this they wont get one.

If I had known that it would have come to this with the condems being in power, I would not have voted for the CONservatives............

Don't be fooled. Whoever came to power would have had to make these cuts, ultimately.

Granted, they seem in a rush to bring them in,but nevertheless, they would have had to be made eventually.

I agree Gaz they would have happened regardless - on better note I see we paid £3.7B off the National debt last month compared to being £1.3B down this time last year.
