Airstrip One

Are we living in Cloud Cuckoo Land? 3rd November 2002, 20.28

You would not believe that Britain had the fourth largest economy in the world given the state of our armed forces. The fiscal rapist, Gordon Brown, has pared away all fat from our defence forces as well as our pensions and has now informed the MOD that they must invent a new strategy that doesn't cost as much ie no ground forces.

It's the battle of leaks over money and war but Blair cannot afford to have his campaign undercut by the dismal Scot. He may have to bite the bullet and sack the mullet or pay the price in watching Britain sink further into European irrelevance.

Latest example: Nimrods that cannot fly after upgrading because their wings don't fit.
