Geoff Hoon wields the knife against Gordon Brown at the Iraq Inquiry, Brown's cuts meant death for British Troops




















Dear All

Geoff Hoon is a tireless plotter, week in week out; in all weathers the boy is out there putting the boot in inept Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

His latest pitch in his struggle to get Brown out is spilling his guts down at the Iraq Inquiry.

Hoon says Gordon Brown starved the Armed Forces of cash in the build-up to the Iraq war.

In a devastating act of disloyalty, he told the Iraq Inquiry as Chancellor, Brown failed to give the military the funds they needed before the 2003 invasion and cut their budgets afterwards.

This decision by Brown meant that orders for new equipment, including essential helicopters for use in Afghanistan and Iraq had to be cancelled.

A lot of British soldiers are dead by of the actions of Gordon Brown, his cuts meant their deaths.

In turning the knife Hoon said;

“I suppose it’s reasonable to assume that, had that budget been spent in the way that we thought it should, those helicopters would probably be coming into service any time now.”

Brown is held in contempt by the armed forces, some recently have refused to shake his hand and others injured in combat recovering in hospital pull the curtains so Brown doesn’t use them for photo ops.

From Private to General, the contempt oozes from British Troops, they are at the receiving end of Brown’s lies that troops are getting the right equipment.

As Defence Secretary in 1999, Hoon claims that he was rebuffed when he asked the Treasury for extra money.

Throughout the Labour Government’s foreign wars of occupation led by Tony Blair, the plan was to suck up to the Americans, troops never received the correct support.

What does it say that serving troops went into battle without the right clothing and boots?

This appearance by Hoon is another nail in the electoral coffin of Gordon Brown and the Labour Party at the General Election.

The Labour Party can’t be trusted with the defence of the nation, along with everything else.
