Strategic Defence Review

Aircraft carriers without aircraft...

A £3bn ship being built which the government doesn't really want and may sell soon after it's finished...

Trident's renewal postponed - allowing a future (Lab/Lib?) government to re-open the question of the need for a continuous at-sea deterrence again...

Pause for a minute and imagine how the press would have greeted these proposals if Gordon Brown had announced them!

The Tory biased media would have screamed bloody murder! Yet as David Cameron announced the changes in Defense policy, the media greeted it with a nervous silence.

Alastair Campbell was right when he used the media was aggressively hostile and biased against our former prime minister, Gordon Brown!
