Gordon Brown as Chancellor of the Exchequer and now as Prime Minister has starved our troops of equipment and finance. The latest stories concern first the proposed ending of the UK's current fixed wing carrier plane force before the ever more delayed replacement carriers come into service. The second story concerns the near insane decision to leave the Falklands "without the protection of a British warship for the first time since the war with Argentina because the Royal Navy no longer has enough ships to meet all its commitments."
Why anyone would think it a good idea to replace HMS Northumberland, a frigate armed with guided missiles, torpedoes and a Lynx helicopter,with RFA Largs Bay, a landing ship crewed by civilian sailors, I do not know. Maybe Gordon Brown and his Labour government don't care about the Falklands and their resident population. I suppose a predominantly white population who want to stay British may not fit in the mindset of the UK left who would far prefer some radical Imams who preach hatred and violence against the UK population, far more multi-cultural and they do eat such interesting food... Also don't forget that to many on the left, the retaking of the Falklands under Margaret Thatcher's premiership was just so embarrassing, really we should just have negotiated with the Argentinians like civilized people not used our armed forces like savages.
