Brown’s delusions of Defence
Delusional
Brown is totally and utterly deluded. He is trying to bribe the British Public to somehow believe that in the middle of the deepest recession (we aren’t really out of it yet) the UK has seen in modern times he can spend billions on Defence and that he KNOWS what the best thing is to spend it upon even before any Strategic Defence Review takes place.
He is utterly unbelievable and has lead this country into an abyss that we are going to pay for, for years to come.
This is nothing less than a blatant attempt to bribe the public for the General Election,
The Times has this:
Gordon Brown will use the launch of a Green Paper on the future of the Armed Forces to promise a new generation of warships and fast jets over the coming decade. He will also guarantee an extra £1.5 billion for the war in Afghanistan, and promise to safeguard defence spending from any cuts next year.
Mr Brown aims to display Labour commitment (joke>) to the military while also forcing the Conservatives to say whether they would match such spending.
The list, according to the Times, is a s follows:
- going ahead with two 65,000-tonne aircraft carriers at a cost of £5 billion;
- maintaining troop numbers in the Army at more than 100,000; and
- committing a future government to the Joint Strike Fighter, costing £10 billion, and completing the £20 billion Typhoon programme.
The list will prompt questions about how an incoming government could afford such sums at a time of deep spending cuts across Whitehall. A government source said there would have to be
“tough decisions elsewhere”.
Tough Decisions? It will need to be a wholesale slaughter on a scale not seen since WW1.
We need to get rid of this deluded and dangerous man as soon as possible. He is in La-La land again dreaming of how he “saved the world”.
Time for Change.
Brown goes into battle with billions for defence – Times Online.
Surely the tories will cancel this nonsense. Each day Brown comes out with the most, as you say dangerous, statements. Of course I want the military to have the best equipment but I very much doubt if this has been seriously budgeted.
Delusional – too kind a word for the man.
Maybe we need a “Delusion Of The Day” poster from the Tories highlighting each McBonkers idea as it’s announced and the lack of money for it?
