The MOD aren't getting “more” cuts.

I also think it's a good move.

Interesting, this means we now have a 'foot' on the South American Mainland within French Guyana as strategic military partners, in addition to the military agreement with Brasil; not looking much like we'll be leaving the South Atlantic at all.

Over to the malvinists, who will no doubt provide entertaining responses.

How desperate must be Britain in order to sign such an agreement.

desperate? Hardly. Just makes common sence.

The only thing stopping this all these years is the uncommon sence that France is our old rival, which has not been the case for hundreds of years.
