UK defence poliy going badly wrong

[NorthernRaider]

The defence cuts off the last 25 years are going BADLY wrong and the country is becoming desperate and vulnerable, this exposes us to a much greater threat from terrorists groups and other enemy states such as Argentina ( trying to swipe the Falklands) and Russia (trying to grab Europe)

Sending Grand Dads to war because the government over the last twenty years has maimed, killed and crippled our young warriors whilst sacking or disbanding the more experienced units and troops.
If a MAJOR catastrophe affected the UK in more than one region the military simply could not cope and we also no longer have ANY Civil Defence systems.

Mind you look what they are up against

The Al Havya Ootsyde the evil Geordie terrorist group known for their international whippet smuggling and suicide ferret attacks.
They are infamous for their Parmo IEDS (Improvised Edible Delicacies) obtained from their southern allies in the foothills of the Tees Valley.
They are currently being monitored for their use of WMDs (Wicked Mucky Devices) such as the hideous RPG ( Rocket Propelled Gerbil).
When killed in combat members of the AHO believe they go NOT to HEAVEN ON EARTH but HEBBURN ON TYNE where they get 74 Virgin bottles of ice cold Newcastle Brown ale.
