From reading various posts and reading newspapers, it appears that many units over the next 5 years are preparing to return to the UK. Seems alot of British forces barracks in BFG are being given back.
My question is, is BFG pretty much coming to an end??...if so, its got to be for money issues??...
Another point is uk married quarters, alot of them have been sold off and sold to housing companies. Question is, where do they expect the forces to live, once they get to the UK?...
Lets face it, marries quarters estates, particularly in the Home countie must be worth a fortune. So MOd gets them at a cheap price...then some greedy politicans see this as a way of earning money and sells to housing companies.
Example Aldershot..that place could be a gold mine for housing, particularly with the newish pads estates they have built over the past 20 odd years. If sold to civie companies, the MOd could make a fortune. Why stop there?..
Future doesnt look too bright does it??..typical governement, sees an idea but do not think it through long term.
