dave perry,
Is that the stupid attitude that funds the defence budget to the tune of £33.4 Billion pounds a year with an added £6.6Billion spent on Iraq and Afghanistan out of the Treasury Reserves? The same stupid attitude that has delivered the longest period of sustained real above inflation increases in over three decades?
The same stupid attitude that is returning large scale 65,000 ton aircraft carriers to the RN, is to replace the nuclear deterrent, is operating a Defence Industrial strategy to keep the UK aerospace industry as the 2nd largest on the planet?
I suppose youd rather have a Govt that sells off the MoD married quarter estate to a consortium of Japanese banks? Or who dismantles the Military medical services and closes all military hospitals? Or who introduces contractorisation, privatisation and civilianisation?
Or how about one that proposes to replace ALL manned military combat aircraft with missiles inside 5 years, and then cancels most of the missile projects?
Stupid
