Have to agree with pr00ne in some areas.....

The Tory party brought you:

1. The infamous 1957 Duncan Sandys White Paper which inflicted massive cuts on the RAF. All based on the flawed personal opinion of a total idiot.

2. The appalling economic situation of 1974 with 17% inflation which led to the 1975 defence cuts - more savaging of the RAF.

3. Nott's 1981 cuts under Mad Old Maggie. Fortunately they hadn't had time to take too much effect before the Malvinas war.

4. Death by a thousand cuts which started with the 1990 defence cuts. But Labour have continued them since the gurning slimeball took over.

Nevertheless, it was Blair who licked Dubya's bum like a trusty poodle and took the UK to war in Iraq with no justified cause. For that alone, the Labour party needs to be booted out in May....
