Corbyn isn't very appealing-but he doesn't lie every time he opens his mouth, hasn't deliberately deceived the Queen and hasn't allied himself to the worst president in US history. Great choice we have.
As for defence, it seems to me as a rank outsider we have invested far too much in strategic defence-Trident carriers etc to fight a war thats so last century. We need rapid response mixed arms teams for overseas firefighting and home defence, smart drone /robotic based weapons and bigger investment in protection of critical infrastructure starting with internet software and hardware and the power grid.
What we have now it seems is comparable to a force of 'wooden 'ships of the line' and musket toting redcoats to fight U boats and Bombers.;50 years out of date.
Its a good commercial decsion too as we are pretty good at making this smaller scale stuff and not very good at the large scale .
