The SDSR is completely flawed; in that we are losing capabilities that we cannot afford to lose!

We need Tornado GR4 and the Nimrod MRA4. And if we are building two Aircraft Carriers; we need some jets to operate from them. Why scrap aircraft that we have bought and paid for that can be used until we can afford to replace them with new aircraft. So, therfore Harrier GR9 Should also be kept.

In my opinion this Government should be cutting from other budgets entirely, not the Defence budget.

I say leave the EU.. I really can't see any benefits to being in this useless club. We are paying so much for another useless tier of Government.

The savings from this move would solve the financial problems at one stroke! It's the obvious thing to do..
