CM:
Scrapping the MoD would be an unlikely move and, even if it happened, what would replace it?
If you read the comments on the Youtube link, you will see that Gilpin says:
Too much to say in 15 mins. The policy, when published, includes a proposed slimline replacement & procurement executive. Note "slimline"!
(Will Gilpin)
Given my belief that the MOD constitutes the greatest present threat to HM Armed Forces, I'm all for scrapping it. Its reform would be too costly in blood, treasure and time. It has been the greatest British disaster since its inception, and the second greatest disaster perpetrated by its designer, Mountbatten.
Gilpin does a lot of sound bites in this piece, but one at least chimes with me; "You need to be able to stand alone". That is not MOD Policy. It needs to be UK Policy.
