(specially now as they are running £1 billion over budget)<br /><br />I wish I'd woken up properly and heard the discussions. But it seems that the advice is for huge savings on things that are of no use to us, and investment in what the forces actually need.<br /><br />Goodness.

Brown would sell his own kith and kin to get re elected. To go down in history as an unelected failed PM will kill him, he will die a ruined man. To go down in history as the PM that lost Scotland will make him my hero.
