I’ll tell you what though. For the first time I am seeing the general public voice genuine concern about the lack of funding for our forces. Whats more its not even as if they are waiting for a disaster to happen in order to open their eyes to the danger. People are dying as a direct result of this governments underfunding of the military and what do they do? Well Geoff Hoon denies any responsibility! You heard me. The DEFENCE SECRETARY of the UK denies responsibility for the safety and adequate funding of the British military. Next we will hear Tony Blair deny responsibility for the Prime Ministerial conduct of the incumbent administration. Gordon Brown will deny responsibility for the budget and Blunket will deny responsibility for the police. OI! HOON! If you are listening you are THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR DEFENCE! It is your job, you wanted it, you are responsible for it. If you are not then I do not want to see so much as another ha’penny going from my pay packet into yours. If you cannot do the job you have been given, which you can’t, get another one.
