Mike Turner, CEO of BAE Systems was out today cap in hand begging for more taxpayers cash to help fund his weapons of mass destruction.
Mr Turner said the government must find the money for planned weapons programmes or risk Britain losing the industrial capability necessary to defend itself, The Sunday Times reported.
Turner’s comments come as the Ministry of Defence struggles to resolve a 1.5 bln stg budget crisis that threatens several big defence programmes.
‘If you want to keep a defence industrial base, and operational sovereignty in the UK, then you are going to have to fund it, and research and development. If you don’t do that, you are dead,’ said “Mad” Mike in an interview with the paper.
He failed to mention how he feels knowing his companies products are directly responsible for millions of deaths a year - nor did he feel he should comment on Teflon Tony’s decision to drop the SFO investigation into the bribes made by his company.
