If you mean the bit about 'no jets taking off from a UK Carrier for 8 years' - no it isn't! The last Harrier flight was within the last 8 weeks. Good to see that our Ministers have such a thorough understanding of our capabilities. Thank goodness they're not making big decisions about reductions.......

…….and it wasn't just a slip of his forked tongue - he emphasized the point 4 times.
Met Mr Harvey some months ago at ISK and this clip has re-affirmed my impression that he doesn’t have a clue about Defense……..Good job his portfolio doesn’t include the MOD!!

May I point the gentleman in the direction of the wonderful programme on Discovery about HMS ARK ROYAL and her final cruise.
Plenty of Harriers aboard !!

God - I knew that they were an arrogant bunch but the level displayed here is unbelievable!! I know that there is lots of politics around this issue but if he can't get even simple facts right on this hot topic what hope for anything more mundane!! 
Perhaps we shouldn't blame the useless thick MP but the ultra useless briefers who hid in the shadows!!!

No, that is a lie by a British politician, not protected by the rights of statements in the House of Commons. He's shot himself in the foot, except we can't afford the ammo so he will get away with it!
