We must have a full strength armed services, as it has been proved that anywhere in the world, a war can break out and we are the first country to offer our galant troops.
What this government are doing is jumping in at the deep end before thinking, we the voters, voted for a givernment that gave so called promises (and Labour) and have hit us from both barrels.
We need a full strength armed services to protect our shores, we need as full strength police service to protect us, what have we had since the puppets got in defence cuts, police forces cuts to save money.
Yet they can find, now matter where it came from, 650 MILLION to fund another country, what about this country - our local hospital is making cutbacks and are going to lose 350 staff that includes Drs and Nurses, where is the sense, they can find funds, to give to another country, but cannot find funds to pay for local services - as the The Sun said (a Tory paper) Osborne is going mad.

Arthur - You are not paying any attention to what anyone is saying around you. For a 59 year old man - You dismiss anyone elses opinion, and or ignore the real facts and I find that just plain ignorant.
It has been pointed out to you several times now that the £650 Million pound handed to Pakistan, didn't just come from nowhere - this money was there in the funds that are allocated specifically, for the purpose of overseas aid.
We do not need a full strength Armed forces at this current time - There is no immediate threat to any war, and at the moment we cannot afford a full strength armed forces for reasons already explained to you.
Take bloody heed, the country is in massive debt, the country at the moment cannot afford life's little luxuries, so if you were actually a man who was brought up to believe that every penny counts, then accept the fact, CUTS are the necessary action to take place to control the debt burden.
