We'll Welcome Them on The Beaches!

For the first time in modern history, the Government has raided the budget of the Ministry of Defence to fund a continuing military operation.

The Royal Air Force will bear the brunt of the cuts which will see an air base closed, a Harrier squadron scrapped and a reduction in the number of military personnel. from the Telegraph.

Yeah, so the podgy barstewards in Landon Town have decided to get there own back on us for finding out and exposing there expenses gravy train (not that its made much difference anyway, apart from dragging a few podgy MPs further in to the mud) they've now come up with the opportunity to allow more terrorists through our weak borders by reducing the size of our military yet further.

Not content with decades of pinching pennies from the MoD to pay for things like the Millenium Dome (which had to be sold off to the Private Sector to make it viable) they now want to really cut deep, oh yes, they want to make our armed forces bleed on the battle field and at home.

Like some grotesque fetish, Prime Mentalist has decided that it would be jolly good fun to watch the UK military struggle more, overstretched? ever so slightly!

those in the military want more troops, more equipment and more time but the Prime Mentalist keeps on squeezing them in all three sectors.

22 Helicopters for the loss of 1,000 staff, 2 warships and probably the much delayed but much needed multi-purpose fighting platforms (aircraft carriers)...doesn't seem quite right somewhere along the line..does it? and anyhoo..even if they do cost as much as all of that, the first of these choppers won't be in use till 2012 so as much use to the armed forces as a carrot and a piece of string but no stick.

Tosspots!
