#1 No question the Brits are trying to run their military on the cheap, but they have been flying Nimrods for what - decades? You would think that a fuel on a hot duct problem would appear long ago. Operational issues? Another case of the facts being run thru 'journalism'?

#2 Labor is, basically, destroying British military---both physically and morally by sending them to war inadequately equipped/supplied and with impossible operation rules. Now Obama is going to do the same to US military.

#3 I think that's right. Labour has been bleeding the military to support their social welfare schemes from the NHS to immigration. And those schemes always require more cash -- or at least the pols running them do.

#4 With the recent relevations concerning Labour's lax morals, or should that be complete lack of the above, I would investigate thd whole story foq corruption. Any monies changing hands for half-a$$ed reports with a nod and a wink comes tnder that. All responsible are traitors to ALL of our Service men and women, and should be shot at first light.
And, yes, PlayWithIt, I do have a strange nym, some place you never heard of. You are the sort who would Vote4Mugabe, maybe that's what your true name should be.
