# also: Ginger kids, do they really smell of spice and shit?
(possibly only my school that had that one as a regular playground taunt, but I'm determined to proliferate the hate.)

# On a related note
my e-petition to get the PM to publicly denounce Jan Moir was rejected as there was another one already.

# any petition for the PM to do anything the public wants
will be disregarded. i know, i've tried.

# It depends what you mean by disregarded.
The mods don't reject them, but that doesn't mean the PM will do what we tell him. My petition to get Tony Blair to insist that the Defence Procurement Agency challenge BAE Systems' decision to base the Combat Management Systems on the new Type 45 destroyers and the upgrades for the Vanguard class submarines on Windows was approved and ran happily for a year, attracting signatures from many well respected academics and such.

Our nuclear deterrent is still controlled by Windows, however.

Also, usually the things that the public want the government to do are either stupid or impractical. A lot of the petitions are ridiculously specific to the person posting them. As if the PM is going to come and sort out your wheelie bin.

# That's hardly surprising
When we have people in charge ordering multi-billion pound warships designed around a prototype aircraft that has yet to prove it works and even if it does may never even enter production for international sale.

# I'm pretty sure that the new aircraft carriers will still work with harriers if the JSF proves impractical.
It's the time it took for them to actually get their fingers out and get anything done that's the problem. It took from 1997 to 2004 before they actually approved a design.

# Oh I don't doubt that
But would you want to extend the service life of what is essentially a slow moving easy target for another 30 years?

They should have designed them with launch catapults and refitted some Typhoons, job done.

# Yes
Which I believe is pretty much what the French have done with theirs.
