thankyou.
It may now be possible to discuss the MOD budget cuts in particular, rather than having the topic lumped in with a general diatribe against the new coalition government.
I'm, personally, in favour of drastically reviewing the defence budget in isolation from the overall deficit.
This is because I believe we should be taking a very hard look at our role in NATO & how the current procurement process matches that role.
The Trident issue is one item in that process, the proposed new aircraft carriers are another.
Both these items include major implications related to our liaison with the United States of America - which is why I don't think the topic belongs only in a general 'budget cutting' paradigm.
