Defence cuts

**Rog Ball 01** · 19-10-2010, 10:03

Listning to the news this morning, I see that the RAF and Navy are going to be hit more than the Army.

Does anyone have an idea what may happen to the Bn or are they due for tours overseas.

If the latter applies, I should imagine that they will not be subject to the possible cuts.

Hello Bertie 01
When the first returned from their last tour, I believe they were to be in the UK for 2 years. But will be training for another tour of Afghanistan. I also believe they are staying in The Dale for the next 10 years. I am, sure some one will up date us if I am wrong. But the $64,000 question is what will the latest M.O.D. cut back figures amount to. At present they are quoting percentages and speculating on the possible cash figure.
Regards RBD

have you ever heard things so daft in all your time, defence cuts when we're at War. plain bloody stupid, deport all the illegal immigrants that are filling our jails and costing the tax payer 10s of thousands. However nothing said about that though.

Spot on Rik.

It's what we might call.'Cut to the Bone'. Lord help us if the Balloon goes up again. Surely if the MPs gave up some of their pay it may save a few of our Loyal Troops. Braz

If all the lying torags in Westminster paid back all what theyv'e taken off the tax payer in the last decade alone we could by a new Sub.. Why do we need so many robbing lying Baserds anyway. I could go on all day and save thousands each week.. Defence Cuts labour rob it, tories steal it back. talk about robin hood and the sheriff of nottingham. Nick Clegg needs to earn his wings and get a back bone, and start using the coallition right, and stand up to the robbing torries.

We will still have enough of our armed services left to resist an invasion.......from the Isle of Man.

What I don't get is they are making cuts everywhere in the UK Defence being one of then, yet in their "wisdom" they are INCREASING foreign aid by 37%. Surely if they cut foreign aid they could afford to at least put some planes on those new aircraft carriers they're building. Doesn't charity begin at home????
