These statistics are terrifying, especially when one considers the current increasing problems worldwide. I am appalled at what is supposed to be a Conservative government’s behaviour. It is imperative that defence spending is increased dramatically NOW and a proactive recruitment drive is put in place to attract the right type of person who will be suited to life in our forces. This wokery nonsense has no place in the services.

A deeply concerning picture. It’s very easy to kick the Tories for their multitude of failures in government, and this ranks right up there with HS2 and immigration, in my view.

A litany of short-sightedness and inept decision making.

(The recruitment materials referenced in the piece are frankly an embarrassment- it takes some effort to make travelling around the world with your mates and playing with all kinds of Gucci kit sound lame)
