Quoting: John (scouse) Hirons



"Alright Don, I must confess that I can’t remember Brown cutting the Military budge",



More from the Chilcott Inquiry that you can’t recall Scouse!

"The Prime Minister told MPs he had been wrong to tell the Iraq Inquiry that defence spending under Labour was ’rising in real terms every year’.Mr Brown admitted official figures showed spending had fallen in real terms ’in one or two years’.
In fact a damning research paper produced by the House of Commons library shows defence spending fell in real terms in four years when Mr Brown was Chancellor, including two when Britain was at war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Gordon Brown admitted at PMQs today that defence spending had not risen in real terms every year.They also reveal defence spending as a proportion of national income has fallen under New Labour to its lowest level since 1930".

Alright Colin, Do I take it that from your usual attack on Labour that you agree with the traitors reducing our Army to 8 divisions, reducing the Royal navy to a point that they couldn’t defend our coast line & reducing our Royal Air force to a mere handful of air superiority ’planes that would be brushed aside in a couple of days? you disappoint me. Get your head out of the Tory hand book of smoke & mirrors & see what is happening to our once proud Armed Forces.

A situation may be desperate but never serious

Alright Colin, I think that in your rush to cloud the issue of the treasonous emasculation of our armed forces you’ve got a little bit mixed up. The Iraq Inquiry, also referred to as the Chilcot Inquiry was just that an inquiry into the IRAQ war nothing to do with MOD budgets, still nice try some of your faithful will believe you.

Can we now return to the subject as defined by the threads instigator, or is that too painful?

A situation may be desperate but never serious

I’m beginning to feel that our politicians, of all shades here, are really aiming for, and working towards, H M Forces becoming a United Kingdom Defence Force or UKDF. Similar to the Canadian, South African and Israeli models;

All one force, & geared up purely for home defence & maybe the odd United Nations tours.

Additionally, when we are hearing how bad unemployement continues to be in the UK, the thought of unloading a further 20,000 onto the market........! Guy must be aiming for prime Minister sometime in his career !!
