Well, Fred, I’m still a British citizen.
Bit ironic that you of all people would fail to spot the sarcasm in my comment on nukes though. No doubt you’ll have some pithy comeback without adding anything of value to the discussion though…
Truth is; the vast bulk of Britain’s military is for little more than protecting the interests of Western business
The sad thing is that you’re right (apart from on punctuation). What’s worse is that the next big cerfuffle really will be over resources, and I’d rather the brainless short-termist idiots of the current and previous administrations either worked on how such an argument would be won, or ideally avoided altogether.
Sadly I doubt the former, and there’s bugger all chance of the latter…
(And cutting the armed forces isn’t the answer to the latter. Making the country sustainable in a world severly limited by water and oil availability will)
