From the BBC:
General Staff has announced it will send a further 50,000 infantry to the Western Front over the next four months through its trench warfare (TW) programme to try to help win the war. TW aims to win the war by forcing the German army to use up all its machine gun ammunition. The latest increase will take the total number of British casualties to 375,000.
Senior generals confimed that British front lines had "barely moved for a year and a half". They added that activity in no man's land had also slowed. The European war was "weighing on confidence here", they said.

Send in the Harriers.
JH, we can't do that. The government couldn't bear the fact that every now and then a British company produces something world class so they decommissioned them.
They can't stop fighting as they need to keep the uniform makers in business.
I take it this is a skit on QE?
But I thought you believed that QE was a paper shuffling exercise that did n't release any new credit.
TS, and the bullet makers and the coffin makers.
DBC, yes, I did say that all QE boils down to is replacing longer dated UK government debt with very short dated UK government debt. It releases no new credit and quite proveably doesn't benefit the economy at all. The main aim of QE seems to be to keep interest rates down and give the banks the opportunity to earn a few quid on the churn.
"The main aim of QE seems to be to keep interest rates down and give the banks the opportunity to earn a few quid on the churn."
whilst appearing to be "doing something" about the recession.
If the QE exercise does n't release/create any new credit,why the comparison with wasteful,repetitive srategies?
B, that's the bonus.
DBC, QE is clearly not as wasteful as trench warfare, but it is pointless and enables Them to benefit at Our expense.
