Petition to stop wasting further money on the Eurofighter

Patrick Seurre has set up a new petition on the Number 10 website urging the Prime Minister to stop all spending on the Eurofighter Typhoon Tranche 3. As Lewis Page writes in The Register, the Eurofighter programme represents all that is wrong with British armed forces. Way over-budget, years late and of little use or relevance to the needs of today. It is just a pretty toy for the RAF and a work creation scheme. We have been critical of this £20 billion programme for a long time which has produced a short-range air defence fighter which has no real use, can't be converted to fly from the RN's carriers (where it could actually be useful) and its vast expense is leaving the RN without the ships it needs and the Army without equipment it needs for current conflicts. We urge you to please sign the petition and stop this criminal waste of money.
