You are talking more crap johhny boy. It's you which was criticising your kin with their substandard work

"HMS Queen Elizabeth: Water leak on aircraft carrier 'neck-high'

 

[sxturbo]

Just going to say that the contracts for leaky ships and the design specs were actually done under labour government., Contracts were announced in 2007 but were signed in 2008 but there were years of discussion beforehand.

Building of the HMS qe started in 2009.

The financial crisis hit at the time of the build so it was decided by labour to slow the build down, which added at least 1.6 billion to the build cost.

The Tories inherited this, and it seems from what I can find the specs of the vessels stayed almost as per the original.

The Tories renegotiated the contract in 2013 due to spiralling costs, and so they felt they needed to make Bae accountable as it was assumed the government were being used as a cash cow and this contract change meant that BAE were liable for 50% of any cost over runs.

When your talking billions of £ of over runs I imagine that bae went down the cheaper route of particular items.

Those cheaper routes appear to have been with the fire system in the engine room, a faulty valve apparently, causing 3 billion of damage..

Which perhaps means that any future ships would be better being built in English yards, with JDs blessing.

I think the navy might have a little more need than a couple of yachts for pleasure boating.

Additionally, he has not grasped that Procurement qualification includes identifying products and suppliers that meet the required quality standards.

I'm sure he is fully aware that budgets and affordability are determined by the government in power. Which for the past 12 years has been Tories.

It would make no odds you would still find some thing to whinge about

When all else fails you can always whinge about some ones shoes

He didn't, someone else paid. Bit he met the full cost when it was made public.
Jenny Arcuri paid for his wedding suit.
Of course it wasn't used for her wedding.

You're not even interesting or challenging to debate against! Do you ever give a reasoned response?

You have lost the very argument you started.

Any one know how much the toilet paper is costing at this G7 summit

Is some Tory MP a share holder in the company ? Or has a relative that works for the company supplying the paper ?

What about the catering ? Are any Tory MPs involved in the catering company ?

Can't they reuse the old wallpaper?
Or will the gold scratch too much?

a reasoned response

The QE was built in Scotland, and if JD is saying that the Scottish workforce are shiit and produce low quality work, that's one thing.

apparently workers can now say how wrong being a tranny is.
