PS and remember that the Blessed Margaret wasn't as big a fan of the military as you think - she was behind the Nott Review, supported a £240 mm cut in the defence budget in 1983, delayed and cut back innumerable programs etc etc
I know she was not unequivocally supportive of every pro-military initiative but I also well remember her willingness to support defence overall, much of which seems lacking today.
but I don't think 'hiding' amongst the pathetic shambles that currently exist is the way to go about it...........how about our own party
Perhaps the best suggestion yet.
