I thought the CDS was quite right in his opinion, but few serving officers can get away with such overt political comments on national TV. Right or wrong, does he have a remit to take a party political view on military matters ? Awaiting my reeducation.

I'd rather let Comrade Corbyn die for his own right of free speech, particularly given his recent stance on remembering the WW1 fallen. But said Comrade would never do such a thing - he is a protester, nothing more. He is entirely dependent on others for matters of importance, including his own freedom of speech and safety- but he would still criticise and protest. Its called Norman Kember disease.
