OilCan, why is this always the default response from the apologists for this particular government? Every administration has to answer to its own record, good, bad or indifferent. This rhetoric is surely admission in itself that the present one is indifferent to say the least. When their record on Defence is raised, or for that matter on any other department, it hardly does them credit if the knee jerk answer is that no other government would be any different. It is an illogical stance. If you think that some previous Labour governments have been quite strong on Defence, ie they had a coherent policy, I would agree. To my mind this one hasn't, it is full of self contradictions that will rebound on them. Unfortunately in the meantime it is already rebounding on us.
