I very much doubt that this is what most of your armed forces have for living quarters - and they certain paint a very poor and, I suspect, misleading picture of how the UK values its troops. I'm sure that the UK typically does a much better job of providing decent quarter for its troops! I've been in the barracks that the USA offers our troops, and they are nowhere as bad as that.
I observe that the pictures of Her Majesty's prisons show quarters that a clean and serviceable, but pretty spartan. When are we going to see the "luxury" accomodations that are repeatedly mentioned in this thread?

are you actually for real?
i've seen peoples hoses in worse condition and more spartan than this
good honest working people who pay taxes to provide this
free accomodation and as for the armed forces scenario yes it is quite typical as why would ther be a public inquiry at the moment?
