Now they're talking of scrapping the two carriers being planned. Great, so we have, and will continue to have no airborne fleet defense. The RN has been neglected for decades, and as soon as they seem to finally be getting some new ships some stuck up MP prat goes and suggests that we cancel them?!
Army commanders are saying that the RAF/RN get too much funding. Have they already forgotten that the RAF provides the air lift support for the troops? What about the recon work done by the Nimrod? I'm sure they'd be the first to complain if these we cut short.
Seem to be going around in circles, it would seem the commons have forgotten that the military actually needs funding now and then! Perhaps its time to increase the defense budget to more than a pathetic 3% of the UK's GDP!
