  Time to do a complete audit of the MOD, where’s the money going?

  Remember the £300k on art in 2005 alone, the £4mil on a wasted IT system, £1bil over budget on subs, another £1bil over budget on nukes, £600mil on cancelled Warrior upgrades and this is just some of what we know about.

  How much could that possibly save? The personnel still get paid, the equipment and facilities still get maintained.

    fewer bullets and lower gas consumption would be my guess

  Ok, because it is super peaceful times nowadays: all imperialists and religious crazies are long gone. Nobody needs an army anymore. Total waste of resources!
