IS OUR COUNTRY GOING BARMY?
WE have been told that the Army needs to reduce the Armed Forces by 7,000, this number to include many of those dedicated men serving in Bosnia. This exercise will cast the Ministry of Defence
(the British taxpayer) many millions of pounds. Nevertheless, we learn that, in Oldham, there is
an Army campaign which has been set in motion with the sole aim of recruiting black and Asian youths into the Armed Forces. Would Mr Nigel Evans MP explain the logic of
this — or am I the only one who feels that, not only is this country going barmy, we have also the worst Government since the end of the second world war.
