Important:

This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament

Rejected petition Reverse the scathing, continuous cuts to our Armed Forces immediately.

Successive Governments since Margaret Thatcher have consistently reduced our Armed Forces to a point that we are almost unable to defend Great Britain, and could probably not defend Outlying Territories, ie the Falklands.
We want our Armed Forces back to the necessary strength for our Nation.
