When interviewed by Andrew Marr the other day, Philip Hammond said that David Mr Cameron "Is passionate about our armed forces. He has always been absolutely clear that he is not prepared to preside over any further cuts to our regular armed forces."

"...not prepared to preside..." - that seems to indicate that, if UK voters were stupid enough to let Miliband and Balls in to ruin the nation's recovery, cuts would not be ruled out under an alternative administration

"...cuts to our regular armed forces..." - that seems to indicate that cuts to reserve forces and FTRS etc. could well be on the cards?

I gather there's another 'review' of the University Air Squadrons underway. One wonders whether that'll be another 'done deal' in the vein of the execrable Marston 'report' of 10 years ago....

...unless you are an advocate of Logan's Run
Only insofar as bit of fun with Jenny Agutter is concerned....!
