I suspect that this is primarily a cheap shot to reinforce political support of the UK Defence budget. Peachy knows that domestic comms networks and other types of infrastructure are (have always been) vulnerable points. However, today any dim-wit polli will rally to the call to protect their Facebook page!
Maybe this speech would not sound so crass if the UK Gov had not just wasted ££,£££,£££,£££.86p on the QEc farce?
