It has always puzzled me that at the time of the Falklands invasion by a country which was ruled by a right wing military dictatorship, the left were generally in favour of us handing them over to the tender mercies of such a regime, and certainly against any military action in their defence.

If Corbyn and his ilk were not prepared to defend us (and we can reasonably describe the Falklands population as "us") against invasion by right wing extremists, just who would they defend us against? Why doesnt Corbyn come right out and admit that, other than providing jobs for workers in the armaments industry, he sees no future for any armed forces, nuclear or otherwise?
