Serious Policy

Its a political game that revolves around buying some harrier jump jets (methinks) and then flying them of HMS Thatcher, (popping ballons) you get all the main players, Gordon, Des Brown, Alistar, Tony et al.

Sadly there's nothing about buying more frigates and destroyers.....

The Ministry of Defence is preparing to order a formal review of equipment programmes that could lead to billions of pounds' worth of orders being shelved or delayed. This follows a budget crisis that has left the ministry struggling to balance its books.

The big contracts slated for the review include a £1bn programme for the... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Anthony58) http://warships1discussionboards.yuku.com/topic/6080 Tue, 29 Apr 2008 01:59:49 GMT <![CDATA[ Labour MPs call for bigger Forces budget ]]> http://warships1discussionboards.yuku.com/topic/6069/t/Labour-MPs-call-for-bigger-Forces-budget.html Last Updated: 1:22am BST 26/04/2008

    It does seem to me that some totally incapable ships were sent into the action, whiltst more suitable boats were kept at home. For instance, why send Plymouth, and not Battleaxe?

    Britain's aircraft carrier force is facing major difficulties in training pilots, with less than half of fliers qualified to land on the vessels, The Daily Telegraph can disclose.
