The dozy Doris who is Portsmouth North MP is busily changing her tune....
On December 8th 2006
But Portsmouth North Labour MP Sarah McCarthy-Fry said: 'Personally, I am not so hung up on numbers, because a modern warship can do the equivalent of six warships from 20 years ago.'
Which is arrant nonsense of the first order.....
But today on the Beeb....
Ms McCarthy-Fry said: "It's a concern for Portsmouth, the home of the Royal Navy, especially as we already have the Naval base review.
"I will be pressing ministers to make decisions based on what we need our navy to do. They should not be making them purely on the basis of cost. "The first consideration has to be our national security, then you look at the role of the navy in that."
It would be funny watching her trying to face both ways if it wasn't so serious.....
