Rejected petition Cuts to Our Armed Forces
More details
In the world we live in today, we must have a strong military. The cuts which the Government are putting on our armed forces are having drastic effects on our defence.
Our Royal Navy ships are being cut so drastically to a level which our county shores is no longer protected. The decommissioning of our Aircraft Carriers and the Harrier fleet place our country unable to defend ourselves abroad. RAF Eurofighters which are only a few years old are due to be retired by 2020.
The Government must reverse their decision on this terrible mistake and fund our forces to do the job we need them to do,
