Good News.

As from around 1930 on Wednesday evening Penny Mordaunt became Defence Secretary.

Penny Mordaunt - the UK's first female defence secretary

A profile of the UK's first female defence secretary, who replaces Gavin Williamson after his sacking.

Mordaunt is commissioned at HMS King Alfred - that means we now run the MoD!!
And her initials are PM - just saying......
Be afraid, be very afraid !

Nothing surprises me anymore......soon the Sea Cadet Corp will set training standards.....it's all good, hearts of oak and all that.....

According to Wiki her dad (an ex-Para) named her after the Leander HMS Penelope.

At least she has a tad of military experience.....not the usual "know all f*ck all" the country usually gets lumbered with.....

Don't be daft. The RNR is like Hotel California - you can check out, but you never leave. It's the only way we have any chance of keeping our retention figures up!
