Defence ministers since the year dot have tried to cut whatever was in place on the day they arrived - oddly enough they also all lie like cheap Changi watches.... a palace revolution failed, so in the normal course if events the revolutionaries will now be executed in various interesting ways. Serves them right, if they wanted to be treated as human beings they shouldn't have become lying scumbag ratbags... sorry, I meant to say 'politicians'.
I think Brown should stay, he's the best chance we have of getting rid of labour after all.
