Jacko
My two questions were carefully posed, since I knew you would be able to answer neither, and indeed you proved me correct.
Your eagerness to launch into rebuke reveals your true grasp of the subject matter. I cannot share your parochial vision of this country and its international political influence. Neither can I share your misguided opinions regarding foreign policy and handing it over wholesale to Washington by allowing them to provide AD for deep sea maritime operations at our behest.
The political ramifications that will be felt as a result of the withdrawal from service of the Sea Harrier could be catastrophic for the Royal Navy and extremely damaging to British interests as a whole.
I will do my upmost to see that this decision is reversed.
