We seem to have one of the biggest budgets for the smallest military which wastes money like this hand over foot. 450 million might be small fry in the overall scheme, but they call add up, and then when you do put forward purchases such as the fleet aux’s ships you put them overseas thus crippling the future of the U.K. infrastructure. Heck the Ajax for all the whitewashed in the Union Jack isn’t British.
been on the pop tonight fella?
