Absolutely tragic.
I still speak to young officers I trained when they were cadets at Sandhurst. They are busier in an undermanned peacetime army than I was as a 2Lt in 2007, when the British Army was fighting two wars. “Maximum capacity” doesn’t come close to describing it.
I speak to my peers still serving (most at Maj-Lt Col rank) and the workload on staff officers is horrendous. Pressure is compounded by the Army’s promotion system that gives an entirely justified perception that an officer’s whole career rests on needing a stellar report, every year, in every posting an officer is sent to, with no scope for any mistakes or a career is over.
It’s a thoroughly toxic environment and simply not necessary as we’re not at war. People have warned for ages that this tempo is unsustainable. It’s all due to decades of cuts and hollowing out: fewer people to do the same amount of work.
British Govt aiming ‘manufacture’ public approval with some incredibly slanted questions over a tiny timespan to put the onus on you ensure your car meets the emission target it was built to for it’s entire life or ‘unlimited fine’.
Please disagree…

Yes - can totally see that. Extraordinary things, look weird with the wings swept forwards but really sleek with them rearwards.
Was chatting with a pilot the other day about how ejecting works in them. The early ones had a crew capsule, nowadays they have sequenced seats and blow out panels
Please help me keep my TD5 Defender on the road but this will be relevant to a lot of older cars!! ‼️IMPORTANT‼️ *Please Share.*
So the government is going to try and effectively remove old vehicles from the road.
They've created a sneaky consultation on this huge change with an end date of only the 6th of September.
They want to have a yearly emissions check on every car and motorcycle on the road AS WELL as your mot.
If you pass the mot but then go to your emissions check, if the vehicle doesn't emit exactly the same emissions as when it was built the car will be banned from any use on the road even if it passed its mot emissions.
‼️ This will effectively destroy cars for those of us who love older cars, as well as those who simply can’t afford a newer car. Also car tuning and modifications will be forced to stop you been able to drive your car.‼️
This is targeting all vehicle, cars, motorbikes, trikes, kit cars etc.
So far they are just targeting cars after 2001 but they want to use it on every vehicle on the road targeting mot & tax exempt (historic) vehicles.
They've purposely not given this consultation much time, so please go to the bottom of this page, click this link: https://t.co/Hg0M1j9rPx and click *DISAGREE* and tell them you do not want any of this from the government and share the consultation for others to do the same.
Only way to stop this would be to get the results of this consultation to be a resounding NO (DISAGREE)!
