Re: Full-blown kakistocracy

£96M is a bargain.

MoD has just spent half a billion on EvO, the land radio system which has delivered absolutely nothing. It consists of an 8port 100Mbit/sec switch which doesn't work. So the project has been funded for more of the same.

MoD has also also just spent billions on Ajax vehicles which are so badly welded together you cant fit stuff in and the tracks fall off as the drives are mis-aligned. These are brand new as well mind.

MoD has also just spent 180Million on new turrets for their Warrior land vehicle and got... Absolutely nothing.

So, yes, £96 Million is an obscene and quite frankly unjustifiable amount. But by Govt spending its a bargain.
