taxman Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 According to Government sources the action that began on 19th March has cost £250 million so far, drawn from Treasury reserves. Cameron has said that the operation will continue for a long as neccessary. Is this a wise use of money at a time when we are apparently destitute? Or is it proof that there is still money sloshing around but Government prioritise where they spend it? Worth thinking about next you are told that a school crossing patrol needs to be axed due to cuts or a library shut or meals on wheels reduced etc etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets be honest 99% of politicions are absolutely bonkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dvp82 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Yeah but lets look at it this way. All them RAF jets wizzing around costing ten of 1000's an hour would be if not taking part in action against Libya flying around the UK or wherever of training missions and getting pilots their flying hours in, costing no dount tens of 1000's an hour. So while numbers like £250 million are been branded around, take away cost that would have be spent anyway, id take a punt at saying the overall cost is a hell of alot lower.

Yes they might be flying around because the pilots needing flying tiime but would they be firing missiles costing thousands of pounds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
