    It must depend on the direction of travel. I take it that is the new TVC-equipped J-10B.

    Vnomad – Indeed, but if you make a product that’s cheaper, it’s more likely to sell in higher numbers and hence be built in greater numbers.

    I agree, but if you want to sell the final product, it is the unit cost that counts not the liability for each state, so saving money doesn’t necessarily save money overall.

    I believe partnering ultimately creates a more expensive product. Don’t believe in it at all.

    Blowing things out of all proportion. The stockpiling is too ensure that the slight delivery lag post Brexit doesn’t lead to an immediate shortage in the switch over, once the switch over is complete there will still be a steady flow of these products.

    Wasn’t this contract awarded 4 years ago?

    I don’t think it was. People observed for themselves what was happening and made a decision and the red bus was more of a poorly qualified truth rather than a lie. Many things were said by the Remain campaign that were out and out lies. I don’t think we were told the EU would some day end up like this in 1975 either, so was that a lie? Was there even a vote on any of the later treaties? Has anyone ever lied in a campaign before? This was as good as any vote gets in reality.

    If all this money comes from the taxpayer kitty so to speak, why isn’t it capped in the first place rather than allowing people to overspend and then spinning it? If it doesn’t all come from the taxpayer, then introduce a rule saying that it has to come to the candidates/parties via HMRC accounts and cap it.

    I don’t think it helps to associate shootings and terror attacks with a legitimately elected leader. I mean, what person did the Orlando attacker vote for? Who do the shooters in Chicago vote for? This just leads to more bipartisan divisiveness.

    If he’s a regular Trump supporter then how come he’s the only dummy currently in custody? I doubt his one vote got Trump elected.

    I imagine he’s probably too busy to attend and I doubt the scrutiny of those committees will have any impact on proceedings anyway.

    It should be the easiest deal in history but people underestimated the EU’s will to cut off its nose to spite its face. They’re basically using the risk of terrorism in Northern Ireland to try achieve a political objective that they will not achieve. It’s basically terrorism by-proxy.
