This government came to power promising big changes. The bonfire of the quango's they were going to sweep them away these unelected bodies and save the country millions if not billions of pounds. Then in power they decided that they couldn't do it, one or two would go the rest would be absorbed into government departments. Where was the saving? Then we have them cancelling the Nimrod project that has cost over £4 billion, yet the plane is now completed and within the next year all remaining eight would have been completed. But no they rush through legislation to not just cancel the project but to scrap the planes. How much will the country get from the scrap, let alone the loss of highly skilled jobs from people who were paying tax this now to be lost as they are thrown on the scrap heap. Its also reported that the MoD is to put out to tender future contracts. Have the government forgotten the contract refurbrishment of the Tornado by Marshals of Cambridge who got the contract over BAe Systems who built the plane, only to see that much damage done to these planes by Marshals that ended up cost the tax payer £100 million to put right. This government and Cameron are big on talk. They and he is out of touch with reality. Bernie Hamilton of Unite is quite correct "the lunatics have taken over the asylum."
