    Public sector project management. ALWAYS a complete disaster - national disgrace etc, etc..

    Gordon can rellaocate some of the "underspend" from some of his other failed efforts.

      Menelaus, I agree with a lot of your scrappage.

      We are still punching way above our weight.

      However, can we keep the RedArrows please?

      They are absolutely brilliant, they showcase our country, and my kids love them.

        Fair enough. Can we reduce their number though from nine to six?

        PS: I like 'em too!

          Ah that old cliche.
          It really means we are a medium-sized country bankrupting ourselves by pretending we still matter.
          Hard Brexit now!

            Shameful as it is to admit, I'm afraid I agree with you here.

              Yeah, totally agree. We are not that important any more, and need to get that into our mindset.

                As well as the usual poor design and management regime of course.
                I bet the managers who took that decision are on more than 35 quid an hour. Plenty cheapness, many delays!
                And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014
