On British #ArmedForces it now seems we have a pretty clear choice, we either:
a) Try to keep acting like a global power, poor money into the armed forces & defund everything else to maintain the patina of being a global #military player...
or;
b) accept that we are now a small (semi-isolated) island off the cost of Europe, and by doing so need a smaller national defence force, and then direct the money saved into rebuilding the country the #Tories have wrecked.
b) gets my vote every time
