    I agree with this wholeheartedly. Now is not the time, if ever.

    However, from a global political perspective I think its fair to say that the next few decades run a high risk of being less peaceful rather than more peaceful that we are now. I can see the logic behind the decision evem if I don't agree with it.

    Its not a coincidence that the various people I know who work in military and intelligence almost all vote Tory. Its good for them, innit.

    It's just such a waste of funds when we're going to need them most. Amazing that there isn't money for kids food or for self-employed who are out of work, or for people who can't move because of cladding or, or, or but there is £16bn to buy us some new guns.

    The wording is also very nationalist and presents an us vs the world narrative that isn't based in reality.
