SIR – Recent further defence cuts, condemned by the Chief of the General Staff, a Government appointment no less, are simply treasonous. There is no other word.
Defence of the Realm is the prime responsibility of Government. I make no apologies for going back to my now-famous speech in Birmingham, this is happening as we give away £1 billion a month in overseas aid, £30 billion in IMF support to the Eurozone and a further £1 billion a month to Brussels.
Godfrey Bloom, UKIP MEP for Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire
