Closed stop the military cutbacks in the UK now

Closed on

To get the government to look into defence spending and increasing defence expenditure to a level where we can defend our shores and be able to maintain our nato commitments.
As it stands all of our armed forces are stretched to the limit and experience is sadly lacking. Our country and it's territories like Gibraltar and the Falkland are at present under extreme danger due to this governments inability to think ahead and leaving us under manned and no resources to call upon.
Our forces have a proud history and we are an island nation and wish to have our forces and not become a small part of an EU defence force
