Many people in the country want out of Iraq and Afg. If we get out then we do not need the expeditionary forces we are building up.
If we adopt a more passive Belgique approach then we need patrol boats not cruisers.
We don't need troop transports, tankers what have you etc etc.
Defence is the servant the Homeland Security and the Foreign Office. If Foreign Office policy changes to non-involvement then we only need forces for homeland security.
In the absence of a short term military threat but a high terrorist threat we need more immigration and less airmen. We need more Customs and less navy. We need more police and less squadies.
So put my P45 in the post, and a bonus, and I will even switch the lights off.
