lets stay on topic
I'm a full-on Remainer but I honestly thin k this crisis has been coming for years.
The last Labour Govt committed to some very expensive kit (F-35, Carriers, SSBN replacement etc) which was much needed. After the financial melt down the cash just hasn't been there but it's been salami slicing by the Coalition & the Tories rather than face up to the real decisions.
Those can no longer be avoided Brexit or no Brexit
