        They will ignore"integration 'because thats ok by HM Gov So why would they write about it? However Military Unification, Union is not OK, this is the case & what needs to be looked at as that includes OUR Royal Navy...which carries Britains & Now EU's "joint" Nuclear Deterrent.

        Key questions: Can #UK veto deployment of #UK forces by #EU? Will #UK forces be under #OPCOM and #OPCON of non-#UK commanders? Can #EUCommission order deployment of forces without consent of #EuropeanCouncil?

        EU's objective is Single point Control of ALL Defence Services in EU Zone Military/Defence Union. So the question is, Do we want to end up with that? As it stands ALL UK Defence services are set to IN. The questions is IN or OUT of Unification process?

        It told me nothing I hadn’t already concluded prior to the referendum. As the Party much less the Country didn’t elect a Brexiteer PM and the back benches are too spineless to demand a Brexiteer Cabinet, it seems highly unlikely that reading will accomplish anything.

        Put simply, if you can’t elect a Brexiteer Cabinet and Prime Minister after being given a mandate to do just that, you’ve already failed in your first duty in the defence of this Country.

        Some years ago when you were Sec of State for Defence your Secretary informed me that I was no longer allowed to write to Parliament unless it was a Constituency matter and as you weren’t my MP my emails would be blocked so if you want my opinion now its £250 an hr incl. reading

        This is diabolical. These decisions should be made after open debate. We will end up paying for defence controlled by EU as it appears to stand. Our forces are in the firing line always. Another reason to get rid of PM and others responsible for our defence.

        NB UK Defence policy is set to "integrate" with EU So to make ref to UK defence policy is a nonsense because its in reality EU Defence policy which is to "UNIFY" National Militaries via UNIFICATION into EU MILITARY UNION under Single point Control.

        So what? You Brexiters are so barmy you have a vomit reflex to any kind of cooperation with Europe. It never occurs to you to actually THINK about the specific pros and cons.

        As part of an EU Military we could find ourselves committed to war with whoever Juncker & Mogherini decide, without even the opportunity to discuss it in Parliament. In my view that counts as a major ‘con’

        Absolute BS. That's like saying that, because we are a member of NATO, Trump could send our forces to war with Venezulia without the agreement of UK Parliament. You've proved my point about the vomit reflex and incapacity to think.

        The US bombed Syria but we debated in Parliament not to intervene. PESCO is legally binding, furthermore our armed forces are being cut so that we will no longer have an army capable of defending ourselves Add to that the outsourcing of our military vehicle production

        PESCO is voluntary, open to non-EU members, does not give anyone in the EU command and control. Please stop these stupid EU conspiracy theories.

        What part are you referring to that is voluntary? Joining, yes, its will happen after that is concerning. No one in the EU has control of PESCO? So what do you think is its purpose?

        Ourpose is below. Mainly about inter-operability to save costs and improve military efficiency, and a joint command structure in the event of nations willingly undertaking joint missions. A bit like NATO. As I said, anti-EU is a vomit reflex which entirely by-passes cortex.pic.twitter.com/9KyyGFLSu0
