The fuel u-turn is going to cost the treasury £550 million yet we were being told that to cancel the three pence increase was going to cost £1.5 billion to implement. Now with the sweep of a magical pen the government has removed £1 billion from the original estimate. Who can the people believe? The cost to implement the carriers for the navy with a cat and trap system was going to cost £2 billion even though the American admiral in charge of procurement said that it would cost about £850 million nowhere near the MoD's estimate. So who in Whitehall or the Mod or in the Treaury knows what they are doing. Do these estimates, from these department come from ministers by just plucking a figure out of the sky to suit their agenda? Its now time that these government departments were told to explain how they arrived at such figures, when the truth is that they haven't got a viable honest explanation. Its not just one or two mistakes every time they come up with a figure it is either up graded or down graded within days and then we get government speak,as to why this happened, when the truth is that most of these government mandrins are blatant liers.
