It’s Official: British People Will Lose Their Jobs to Fund the Illegal War in Afghanistan
Thousands of British people will lose their jobs to fund the Labour and Tory-supported illegal war in Afghanistan, it was announced today.
The Royal Air Force base at Cottesmore in Rutland will be closed and thousands of defence jobs in the armed forces and the civil service cut to make way for more than £900 million to be spent on helicopters for use in the Afghanistan war.
The British National Party has condemned the move as misguided and typically inept. Instead of making British people lose their livelihoods to fund that war, the state should be saving money by simply withdrawing from that conflict.
To make matters worse, the concession that British forces need more helicopters to fight in Afghanistan is an acknowledgement that our soldiers were deployed there without sufficient support in the first place.
The final insult to the injury is that the new helicopters will only be available in the 2012/13 financial year — more than three years from now.
In other words, British troops will be exposed to the dangers of insufficient air transport and cover in Afghanistan for another three years, according to the wretched Labour/Tory warmongering plan.
Meanwhile, a National Audit Office (NAO) report has revealed that the Ministry of Defence shortfall was £1 billion more than its annual budget. The NAO described this as “unaffordable.”
According to the NAO, British troops are “being denied vital kit by the save now, pay later approach” followed by the Government.
As an example, the NAO said the decision to slow the building of two 60,000-ton aircraft carriers to save £450 million over the next four years would add £1,124 million to the project’s cost.
The illegal wars have taken the lives of hundreds of British service personnel and have cost the taxpayers billions of pounds. They have also resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi and Afghani civilians.
Quite apart from there being no legal basis for those wars, the lies and deception practised by the leaders of the Labour and Tory party in tricking the country to going to war, are grounds enough for a prosecution for war crimes.
The harsh reality is that British troops should not be in Afghanistan and should never have been in Iraq. Now, in order to keep our troops there for years to come, British people at home are to lose their jobs.
This then, is the result of voting in Labour and Tory regimes who always put the interests of British people last.
