Its a publicity stunt you poor gullible fool. Its May trying to look ''strong and stable'' before the election. Why has she not explained yet why the security services were warned about the Manchester bomber but did nothing about it?
The squaddies are only there because we dont have enough armed coppers on the ground which is a result of her policies when she was home secretary.
