time for war

RE: time for war
During the last defence review John Knott claimed the UK needed 22 destroyers and corvettes of the latest type to protect the British homelands, that excluded our foreign dependencies. We now have 19 Destroyers, no carriers and no fleet air arm.

Mind you the army did number about 150,000 plus the 50,000 of the BAOR, now we have 96 and its about to be cut to 84,000. We had hundreds of chieftain tanks, it used to be 55 Chieftains to a battalion, now its 34 Challenger 2s.

The Europeans will just be able to walk into the UK when they want to.

No nation on earth has defeated the Brits on their own in warfare for hundreds of years, but our enemies have learned they can defeat us with lawyers and politicians instead.
