Not sure that will work. Social security will go up, NHS... up, crime... up. All due to £100bn of Covid, keeping people alive in the UK.
There’s no sexy war, no clips of humanitarian aid, disaster relief etc. There’s just a mountain of debt, and a population that doesn’t want to lose their quality of life, as it used to be just 8 months ago.
Time to wake up, money will go to the closest beak, not the best in the background.
For every £ you want for the military, there’s a need just as desperate for a tax payer. Expect scrutiny like never before now.
