Hmm, are the Daily Mail and the Telegraph the only papers made availale to those in the RAF? Will I leave it a bitter old reactionary if I join?
Its evident that this goverment is spending more (yes even in 'real terms') on defence, however a lot of money is tied down in buying you all expensive new bits of hardware and operation Telic is hitting the coffers hard.
If concern over defence spending will be your primary criteria on choosing who to vote for then I am afraid you will have the vote for Tony Blair (or Gordon Brown after two years), you know the antichrist who is planning to sell your children as slaves to Romanian gypsy immigrants ETC ETC. Both the Tories and the Lib Dems are committed to cutting the defence budget.
