"...On the 5th March 2010, Gordon Brown went before the Committee of Privy Peers to give details regarding military funding during his tenure as Chancellor. Amid allegations by former military generals and civil servants of gross underfunding, Brown distanced himself from the suggestion that he underfinanced the armed forces, stating that during his chancellorship he agreed to every request the armed forces filed to him during wartime. He appeared emphatic that the defence budget had risen ‘in real terms’ every year.
However, the PM has recently admitted to the Commons that he was wrong to tell the inquiry that he had increased defence spending ‘in real terms’. This about-turn comes as the House figures show that while Brown was Chancellor, the MOD’s defence budget fell no less than four times in real terms.
The result is that many have been left questioning Brown’s credibility. 61% of GB adults state that Brown ‘knew the truth all along but thought he could get away with twisting it’, while a further 17% stated that they ‘didn’t know’. While we cannot be certain that the entirety of this 17% are actively unsure about Brown’s integrity, these figures could potentially represent a sizeable 78% among the British public who doubt the PM’s honesty..."
Says it all really.
It says to me that 22% may be retarded, lying, mad or Labour Party members.
