doesn't make much difference to the Military Budget either way
What are they going to cut next?
From the Thinpinstriped line article:-"The challenge facing the MOD is one of pure numbers and the fact that there is not enough money available to meet all of its needs. The Secretary of State for Defence has pushed publicly for £11bn of additional funding to meet Defences needs and has been granted £5bn in the short term and a planned small rise in the budget over the next couple of years. In other words the UK is not cutting the defence budget, but it will have to cut the size, shape and ambition of the armed forces."
