National security will take 'years' to rebuild in event of 'no-deal' Brexit

Britain's national security will be severely weakened if the UK leaves the EU without a deal and it could take "years and years" to rebuild.

The blunt warning comes from three men who have served at the very top of the British defence and security establishment: Sir John Sawers, the former head of MI6, Lord David Richards, the former Chief of the Defence Staff, and Lord Peter Ricketts, the former National Security Adviser. ........

Imbeciles who can't do their job of stopping terror attacks as it is, not sure how much worse it can be to be perfectly honest

the UK is part of the biggest intelligence network in the world. 5 eyes. none of which are in the EU, the EU would be the losers if they try to exclude the UK as we are a major source of intelligence for them

Interpol often ask our police for help, as we do of them.   Can't see that changing !

as i said, these fools couldnt stop the attacks we have suffered recently and the EU is certainly not exactly "safe" either.

leaving the EU will increase our security but only if we control our borders, it would be pointless to leave and still have the doors open, restrict access and all you have to really worry about is homegrown jihadis.

thats easily done, internationally??, well the Uk has its fingers up every twitching arsehole going, certinaly our networks are more extensive and viable than anything the EU has to offer.

besides, if a person has a lord/lady/sir/million pound bank account in front of their name then you know they have their snouts in the EU trough and are on the take, so their word is worthless , like most of the parasites in the house of lords and parliment
