£31billion black-hole already in Defence Spending and Labour cannot explain what this observer has been writing about for the past fourteen years. Six months out of office and they have forgotten that they, Labour, signed these ridiculous contracts with clauses that a two year old could expose. And Labour defenders rant about the mess the the Coalition Government is trying - badly- to solve.
Get the troops out of the Middle East, re-arm them with weapons that kill and not the ineffectual 556 small arms, have them man the borders of this island race and educate the types of Wendy Lewis and Sharon Matthews that the Welfare State is a Safety Net and not a Life Style.

From Buenos Aires to Tehran, from Moscow to Beijing, the governments of countries that do not always have our best interests at heart are scouring the small print of this week's British defence review. Their aim is to find chinks in our military armour that can be exploited to their own advantage. It won't take them long.
It is all very well for David Cameron and his Coalition Government to assure us that, by 2020, we will have a properly balanced and effective military infrastructure that is capable of dealing with any threat to our national security.
We will soon be down to three men in a boat.
