On crony capitalism and defence.

‘Break up the RAF and stop buying British
So that’s it then: Britain’s just a third-class power. And yet our defence budget is the fifth biggest in the world. It’s around the same as that of France, and France has a proper aircraft carrier – complete with planes. France also has hundreds of operational strike jets, not scores; it has maritime-patrol planes; its army may soon have twice as many soldiers as ours.
Why don’t we have all that?
The answer is, mostly, the British defence industry….’

    Britain is a province ib the European Union – Washington is a state in the U.S. Federal Union – such places don’t merit much in the way of armies, navies and air forces…

    The Empire has defense taken care of…so relax.

      Hi RobertV, you might not be aware of this, but a highly graduated income tax is from the 2nd plank of the communist manifesto. It is a marxist/communist idea.

      Things are warming up, and the West has a dope-smoking boy President at the helm…
