On the day that Brown has promised over a billion pounds to the poorer, third world countries to help combat global warming ( I bet the Swiss bankers were rubbing their hands in glee) the news has broken that massive defence cuts are imminent is astonishing.
Irrespective of the politics of global warming (and yes I am a believer not a sceptic) the first comment that came to mind is where the hell is this money that Brown has promised for global warming coming from? And secondly the first priority of any government is to protect its citizens. For Brown to promise billions of pounds at the same time as slashing the defence budget is just ludicrous.
As for the fact that our soldiers are fighting a war in Afghanistan ... well .....
