Thank you fanatic. Took you long enough to collect your thoughts.
I would not even care to comment on your routine propaganda (Bullets 1,2,3 and 4). I strongly suspect that your motivation here is either personal financial or peripheral involvement in the carrier program? I do not recall if you have ever said so, I call you out to declare your involvement.
Beyond that, you seem to have a dedication to the program that goes beyond loyalty to your Nation's possible best interests and its overall Military ability. Tell me, would you rather see a strong RN skimmer fleet or, overall ability of UKMil ? Well, would you?
BTW, it is commonly, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
