Hercules safety 'still lacking'

I see the cheapskates at the MOD are at it again, playing with the lives of the personnel they send into war.

After Mr Blair sent us into war we have heard continued promises from his government that the Military will get all the equipment that they require to carry out their tasks. This has patently not happened yet again.

The solution to this problem has been available for years and is fitted to many other countries similar crafts so what is the problem. The Armed Forces Minister
Mr Ingram told the House of Commons in December that

"The majority" of the RAF's C-130 Hercules fleet would have ESF by the end of 2007. But he said he could not reveal the precise number, for security reasons.

What utter crap, he is hiding the number because it would be embarrassing to his government!

Our Forces require better than this for a Government.
