I'm starting to think along the same lines as you Nick, plenty of empty Labour promises pre-election, a manifesto that was a clear lie, and what little is left of our Navy yet further diminished.
2 RFA Tankers
2 LPD
1 Frigate
All for the chop prior to the SDSR.
With the LPDs to go - my question is are the Marines next?
I am guessing that by announcing the early removal of an armed amphibious delivery capability, are these penny pinching muppets paving the way for an SDSR decision early next year to get rid of the RM commandos?
