And anyway as my computer dies, the Guradian video with Corbyn seems to be about never deploying UK military abroad again. Its not about cancelling UK defence.
(Traditionally New Labour gave defence quite a bit, funded quite a lot. Cons are the one's who have slashed it repeatedly and very recently "see eyes passum".


Having seen the UK military close up and been on numerous deploys at sea and in the MENA until recentlyish..maybe he's actually right? We are now very, very, very small and we cannot seem to muster enough the operate with any real credibility (or sadly any effectiveness-there are many reasons for that-an unwillingness to accept young lost Brithish lives being primary).
Sad but true, Britain in the mid 21st century is very small. Corbyn knows this.
