SOLDIERS with rifles that won't work in cold weather. Bombers that can't drop their bombs accurately.
What few ships we have are kept short of fuel and have to steam slowly and we can't muster enough for the Queen to review the fleet at her jubilee. Our defence capability is almost zero.
Read your history and tremble, England. Wars always happen when we are least prepared.
EILEEN EASTHAM (Mrs), Milton Close, Darwen.
