The next review will be coloured to some degree, I expect, by whatever threats to the realm and our Western and other overseas allies is perceived. It also depends on which Government we have, that will really carry some bearing.
If its Ted the Red, then for all the opposition complaints about Defence cuts (always carefully worded by Jim Murphy to attack the logic, not the depth of the cuts) then I think regardless of the military concerns and no matter how obvious we shall see all three services, and I'll put money on the R.A.F. especially, cut back below the irreducible minimum! That is, of course, imagining that it hasn't been achieved yet.
