Well done Sir Jonathon. Having served with him it, does not surprise me that he has stepped up to the plate in this manner. Whether it is an astute strategic move or a statement fuelled by the emotion of frustration, only time will tell, but it is refreshing to see those empowered to lead doing just that.
Mr Brown, the consequences of not properly funding ANY of the UKs fighting forces is that people pay with their lives. I hope that the sentiment of 1SLs line isnt lost in the noise. That is, he is merely saying to have an expeditinary policy it must be paid for. He is not just saying, give me two carriers and a million quid. It is not the armed forces merely holding our their hand for more but a reflection of the dire position the British Military is in.
