UK Libertarian Party: Strategically Speaking Labour Don't Give A Toss
With a brother who is currently rising up in the ranks of the Army but with a definite chance to be in Afgan within the next 24 months I have more than a vested interest in the armed forces.

This must change. If not in money, but strategy to keep our people alive and effective wherever they are needed.
