The whole reason that we have to see such massive ciuts is down to Blair and his bunch of right wing Socialists who spent evey penny, every piece of Gold reserves we had whilst making 2 million manufacturing jobs dissapear abroad to be replaced by minimum wage service industry jobs.
That is not saying that i support Cameroon and his mini-me Liberal, they are as far away from true CXonservatism as Blair, infact cameroon is more of a Blairte than anything else. but please, don't denegrate those of us who fought in the Falklands and Northern ireland with such comments as you have done.
Warkman..u seem to have misunderstood my post.I have family who are in the armed forces and not once in my post did i make any comment on people who are serving now or served in the falklands.My comments were directed at Cameroon(as you call him in your post!) and Thatcher.I cannot see how you can come to the conclusion i am degenerating anyone who served in the falklands from my comments.The fact that i think it was a complete waste of time and money..and will be again..doesnt take away any respect i may have for the servicemen/women who have to go and fight the governments wars.He probably has less respect than me..as doubtlessly many an ex service person with disability problems will be getting their benefits stopped etc etc just like the rest of us right now.
