i saw the guy in the link interviewed last night. he got a nice swipe in at Cameron.

I understand why he's airing the concerns he is airing, but I don't see any prospect of them being addressed.

maybe the bottom line- job creation- might nudge central gov't into more defence spending, but I can't see it, when all other 'services' are being cut. PR suicide, which Dave won't contemplate.
