UK Defence : Saving or Sell Out

“Rejoice , rejoice…”, so said PM Margaret Thatcher as UK forces accepted the surrender of the enemy in that very British War, the Falklands Conflict.   She also said ” We are a grandmother…” but we should possibly put that down to the heat of the moment rather royal aspirations. 25 percent cuts in military spending [...]
