Government Cuts

It has taken a long time but the parties in the UK are now talking about the public spending cuts they are going to have to make to balance the books after having taken on huge debts to fund the bank bailouts.

Some things are now been thrown up as suggestions of things "we could do without". Top of my list at the moment:

• ID Cards - Let's not spend billions with EDS to not have this work. There is no point in tracking the law abiding!
• Trident - Either extend what we have in terms of lifetime, or develop the subs but only deploy them in some other role with no warheads.

So there is £30 billion without even really trying.
