You beat me to it. prOOne and his spin yet again!! He obviously does not understand RAB. The Defence budget may have increased, on paper, but that does not take into account the savings measures that 2nd PUS and the Ministers (particularly HMT) have imposed on Defence. Once the "savings" measures have been taken into account there is a net reduction (in cash terms - and lets face it that is all that counts) in the Defence Budget - and despite all the spin I believe it equates to some £2B. If there were an increase, as some claim, why are the Navy about to lose boats, the RAF be reduced in size by 25% and the army lose large chunks of "armour" all at a time when the Armed Forces are undergoing the longest period of sustained Op Tempo since .......?
Lies, damn lies and spin!
