Loose Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 Another 3,000 civilians are to be axed from the Ministry of Defence to help it bring down an estimated 2bn overspend in its budget, the guardian has learned. Philip Hammond will be forced to make the embarrassing admission in the coming days amid fresh concern within the MoD about how to balance its budget. http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/jan/26/ministry-of-defence-job-cuts?newsfeed=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loose Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) MoD duffers waste yet another opportunity - excellent article in The Spectator regarding how these idiots have wasted the chance to achieve some economies of scale in supporting sustained buying within industry not only supporting national companies but developing R&D, sadly lacking in their foresight. I have to say it is verging on the criminal and anyone with half a brain cell must be thinking that no-one can be that stupid accidentally, that pockets being lined is a possible motive. http://www.spectator...portunity.thtml Edited February 2, 2012 by Loose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loose Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 So funny that our supposed expert (Rhodent) can't seem to post on this subject and defend himself and the rest of the duffers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loose Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Can anyone believe that the MOD would pay their civil servant duffers bonuses when they are billions overspent? Well they did!! £40m shared between them! One senior civil servant was awarded an £85,831 bonus on top of their six-figure salary - at the same time as members of the armed forces have been subject to a two-year pay freeze and 20,000 are to be made redundant http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/defence/9090668/Ministry-of-Defence-civil-servant-awarded-86000-bonus.html Not even shocking anymore is it? This news comes amidst the recent revelation that the MOD have merrily been spending our money on fighter bombers from the US. The laughable element? The yanks have been laughing in their boots, the planes can't land or take off from our aircraft carriers which they were bought for!

Loose Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 It's odd how our friend from the MOD never feels able to comment. How many pieces of silver did you get Rhodesy for betraying our armed service men and women? How much blood money have you got on your hands Cliffy?

Horace Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 It's odd how our friend from the MOD never feels able to comment. How many pieces of silver did you get Rhodesy for betraying our armed service men and women? How much blood money have you got on your hands Cliffy? About £2.50 before tax!

missunderstood Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I see that the Royal Navy, (who I assume are part of the MOD) have just announced they have awarded a contract to build four ships to a South Korean company. Little wonder that unemployment is still rising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little wonder that unemployment is still rising. News now coming to light that the MOD REJECTED an offer which would have seen an Italian company build the ships in the UK using British ship building yards, guaranteeing at least 35% British work force and paying all those lovely taxes and NI contributions here!! The company has a successful track record and was all geared up after just finishing building two such tankers for the Indian Navy. Criminal.

Loose Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Here you are folks, this article will knock your socks off - latest on the M.O.D overspending and planning [censored] up, I wonder if our resident expert on these matters will defend his department...? http://www.defencemanagement.com/feature_story.asp?id=19646 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loose Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 This one will have you laughing in the aisles folks! Ursula Brennan, top civil servant at the money-splurging Ministry of Defence, was given a terrible, terrible beating by MPs on the Public Accounts Committee. Her performance was, if not career-ending, surely career-limiting. Before the end of it, MPs were laughing and shaking their heads, with the committee’s chairman, Lady Hodge, sighing ‘oh dear’.

Rhodes Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Loosely - Well here is a clip of Ursula Brennan's 'terrible, terrible beating' by MPs on the Public Accounts Committee and I couldn't spot her shuffling in her chair once, she more than held her own: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loose Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 I think people should watch that 30 second segment of Ursula Brennan's red faced stuttering shambolic non answering of the Public Accounts Committees questions, by her own admission, very simple questions that she couldn't answer. What a disgrace and certainly she as one of your "top civil servants" must have embarrassed you to the core Rhodesy. Says it all that she turned up in a leather jacket no less appearing more the chav then the business like public servant she should represent. A damning indictment Rhodesy which goes a long way to displaying your ministry's shameful waste of our money and incompetence in outfitting our brave service men and women. You must be hanging your head in shame! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhodes Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Loosely - Not at all, like I said Ursula more than held her own and I really don't see what she was wearing has to do with her appearance at the Public Accounts Committee, unlike Michael Foot at the Cenataph for example where it did matter. Once again, like on so many other threads on here you are clutching at straws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again, like on so many other threads on here you are clutching at straws. Oh I think so Rhodesy, after all you are scrambling for cover with a diversion to Michael Foot. I'm afraid you are just a teensy bit transparent and you and your colleagues must be praying for a rock to hide under. Can't say it hasn't been coming can we? Here we are folks, just in case you wanted to enjoy the "Brutal grilling" that the M.O.Ds "top civil servant" received and I have to say thoroughly deserved! http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/838fbf22-8f93-11e1-98b1-00144feab49a.html#axzz1tLw5XMCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again, like on so many other threads on here you are clutching at straws. You really should check your fact Mr Rhodes, Micheal Foot was wearing a rather expensive short overcoat, and certainly not a Donkey Jacket. IMO Micheal Foot could have been a great PM, but was destroyed by the gutter press and the simpletons that believe every word written in The Sun and the rest of the tory supporting press.
