So now we have no army

I haven’t really thought about nor probably know enough about it. I’m guessing people on here think it’s a bad thing?

Amazing that FatCat how you haven't really thought about it or know enough about it but you're sufficiently informed to 'guess' that most people on here would think it a bad thing.

I suppose in awkward situations like this you can always pretend that 'less is more' yes?
 
Seems a strange strategy to me. Remove personnel so we can’t cope with minor skirmishes and territorial disputes but increase our nukes so we can blow up half the world. An all or nothing defence strategy

Playing the naive role again FatCat? Funny how you’re never so naive when you’re having a pop at the Labour Party.

I’m telling the truth I don’t know a lot about it - happy for you to enlighten me.
If you can find posts of me attacking the Labour Party I’m happy to discuss those but I think you will struggle to find few if any.
You would probably be an ok guy if you weren’t so lairy all the time what was the word used the other day bellicose I think.

I was just correcting the over reaction of the opening post , “now we have no army” when in actual fact the army will be reduced by 10000 soldiers to 72500. Despite that the tone of the opening post and those that followed seemed to be pointing to criticism rather than praise of the policy-don’t you agree?

Praise??????
 
We all knew it was coming.
Two Type 23s are going earlier than planned. Stand by for one of the carriers (Prince Of Wales I reckon) to be put up for sale. Cheap deal with Australia to sweeten a trade agreement.

The Labour Party policy was to invest and strengthen our armed forces and upgrade our weapons and capability to make up for the numbers that had been reduced by the Tory government since 2010 so that we could play our part as a fully equipped and prepared NATO partner.

That sounds sensible but because Ed miliband dropped his bacon sandwich it never happened
 
So just in this parliament, they've:

- overseen the deaths of 150k citizens while hte PM didn't even bother to attend COBRA meetings
- the PM has supported shaking the hands of covid victims a couple of weeks prior to falling ill with it
- Spent 23billion on a poor / failed track and trace system. For the record NASA sent a nuclear powered space tractor to mars for about 10% of the cost.
- had rioting and civil unrest
- reduced the armed forces to a force size that is a 'one shot' force, and if that doesn't work there's no plan B, no backup, no support, putting our national security at risk
- added 400 billion to the national debt
- increased poverty
- reduced the right to peacefully protest
- lied to the queen to shut parliament down
- reduced exports by circa 40%
- threatened to back out of a deal they negotiated and agreed because they don't agree with it
- refused to sack a home secretary that has been found guilty of breaking the ministerial code
- tried to hide taking millions of tax payers money for refurbs while everyone else is on their ass
- sent cops in to violently attack a womens vigil
refused to give nurses a payrise, for the 11th year running, despite the risks they have taken with their lives
- not pressured the royal family to get Prince Andrew to co-operate with the FBI in a sex crime case
- balls up the last school years grading system
- overseen the greatest increase in racism and hate crimes in my life time
- and got us new blue passports

That's just off the top of my head, and I'm sure you can add some obvious ones I've missed. Yet still numpties will vote for them and moan the Corbyn is a terrorist and Starmer isn't a leader.

If this reduces the possibility of our country interfering in oil rich regions then I am all for the reduction. I know to many former friends who I served with who are suffering from either long term ailments on operation Granby, Have mental health issues after serving in Bosnia , Iraq , Afghanistan or have drink, drugs or attachment issues that have been offered no support by either Labour or Tory governments.

Very true - and many have to overcome real barriers to seeking appropriate help.

Isnt this a case of Tory Government employing a Labour party policy? Is it a bad thing ignoring the fact who has done it.?

Interesting error that. As per the other thread, maybe you've got some sort of governmental stockholm syndrome Zoo.
