I doubt that it is just a storm in a teacup. I suspect that the UK Mil hopes for the Galileo system were that it would (in future) provide greater levels of accuracy and security of operation for UK developed weapons and systems, in an EW environment. It would seem very strange for the UK Gov to propose spending £???Billions on a go-it-alone space based nav system for domestic peacetime Sat navs when there is no issue with getting that. No Sir! I think we are talking some serious future capabilities that are now placed in jeopardy without access to our "own" system .
