Don’t be surprised, BREXIT is a nice ready made excuse with which to conceal decades of under-investment, mismanagement, lack of strategic thinking and general incompetence in the running of Defence. That most folk won’t know or understand the security requirements associated with this or many other areas is irrelevant. To be able to blame national security failings on the EU and BREXIT is a win win.
