Rejected petition Ring Fence Defence spending

More details

high on the list of government responsibilities to the people of Britain is, DEFENCE OF THE REALM.

this cannot be done on a budget, we are island race, it needs a navy, it also needs foot soldiers to fight or defend abroad, and of course a air force to give our other forces air protection.

we would like, no, insist that our government reinstates our carriers and the harriers until we have a better carrier system, also stop the cuts in manpower to our armed forces.

we want a moratorium on foreign aid so the money can be used on defence.
