• A quote from a police inspector on the BBC News Berkshire site on 1st February was read by Jim Carr: “This was a particularly viscous robbery, however I would like to reassure residents there are ongoing inquiries.” And no risk of anybody coming to a sticky end. • At the start of the BBC Radio 4 World at One programme on Wednesday a clip was played of the delightfully named...

UK Armed Forces Merged?

Y'know, Canada tried this , and decided it was a bad idea. Even now, they are 'unified' in name only and pretty much operate as distinct services. But the Brits are still considering the merger of their military into one structure . Combining the three armed forces could leave them resembling the US Marine Corps, which unites land, air and maritime forces under a single command. The future of the three...

Kim Sengupta: In these tough economic times, it's clear that the defence budget will have to be cut

It was a startling admission to make. The Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup, said it was "certainly plausible" that the RAF – which he was head of until 2006 – may cease to exist. Within minutes his admission was headline news on television, a graphic illustration of the massive cutbacks being faced by the British military.

Catch on the radio one of those names you'd swear had been invented for a Python skit - Sir Jock Stirrup (our current head of the armed forces). * 18 texts or so for this run of Morse Solids plus 5 from the last series.

Gordon Brown pretends to be the soldiers’ friend

I’ve posted twice today about defence – first about Labour’s serious damage to the future of the Armed Forces, as the MOD finds itself saddled with £35bn of unfunded cost overruns. Then about Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup’s rightly harsh assessment of the Government’s procurement planning ahead of the Iraq war. Together, those are [...]

He said defence chiefs "simply didn't have enough time" to source everything they wanted for the invasion of...

Labour denied soldiers vital body armour

Ok, the headline’s nothing surprising – back in 2002, Geoff Hoon refused to allow the MoD to purchase body armour before the invasion of Iraq, fearful that it would ‘give away’ Labour’s plans to tack on to GWB’s ego trip. Today the Chief of the Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup, gave evidence to [...]
