Britain will never be able to fight another war alone after drastic defence cuts were announced by David Cameron yesterday.
The Armed Forces will lose 17,000 soldiers, sailors and airmen - 10 per cent of their number - and the Navy will have its least ships since the age of Henry VIII.
The Prime Minister insisted he was not engaged in cost cutting but admitted the UK will become highly dependent on allies.
dependent meaning us of course. wonder if they'll put the hardware for sale on ebay???
