.............Britain is to supply armoured vehicles and body armour to Syrian opposition forces............

£13 Miliion, for starters, so Hague can strut the world stage...He went far beyond the UN agreement in Libya and now the country is a no-go area for westerners...This bunch are worse than the last lot of clowns...

I hope that 13mil is coming out of the Oversea's aid budget and not from the Welfare...e.g. India surely doesn't need all the millions we give them nowadays and there are others...

Just to add insult to injury it has been announced that...'The Desert Rats' the most famous tank unit in British Army to be left without any tanks as a result of Coalition's Armed Forces cuts, it emerges.

The move ends the armoured role of a tank force that won fame in North Africa under General Bernard Montgomery with victories in battles including El Alamein.

Tank crews fighting under the famous black and red badge also fought with distinction against Iraqi forces in both the first and second Gulf Wars.

Another celebrated unit, the 4th Mechanized Brigade, known as the Black Rats, will also lose its role as a tank force and become part of an infantry..............

....... and much of the rest of the Army is going to be re-branded part-time non-professional, semi-trained unfit Territorials-as were ..... if they can get off work when needed.

Perhaps the UK could recruit Syrians on a 'bring your own weapons' contract?
