Trudie, Cameron could have kept our armed forces upto strength and also kept the NHS upto it's current operating strength by cutting the foreign aide budget.It is ridiculous to be giving away so much money to countries that don't need it.Britain gave £218 million to india last year alone.We have given India £1.9 billion over the last 10 years, but Cameron is still prepared to send poorly equipped, understrength army units to fight in foreign lands.He has reduced our navy to a handful of fighting ships, and if IS has managed to get it's hands on any Russian SAM missiles, we could well see our RAF resources wiped out in Desert Storm 3.All this so Cameron can stand up in the commons and reiterate his pledge to foreign aide in years to come, and British troops continue to buy their own equipment because army issued kit is sub-standard.Disgraceful ! Oh, and by the way, India's space programme have just put two communications satellites into space.They have also just sent an explorer rocket to Mars, and have pledged to spend $1billion a year on space exploration.Just thought you'd like to know
Michael, Trident was bought as Britain's nuclear deterrent but it is now old and needs replacing.It's like Britain is still playing with the old ping pong/tennis games consoles while the rest of the world has X-Box 1's |
