You are miles off matey. Even if the public had a greater awareness (something they don't want) you would never get their approval for greater Defence spending for our little jaunts abroad.
When the first suicide bomber goes off here, then you will see a huge chunk of defence spending happening in the UK. Even then it will not be an increase!! What use your massive carriers eh?
As for Gordon and the EU, he has no choice but to contribute £Billions to the EU. We are one of the few net contributors to the EU i.e. we pay far more in year on year then we ever get out. Apart from, that is, the couple of years that the handbagger got the UK a rebate.
Ted Heath was responsible for our entry terms and it had to be that way in order to stop the French from blackballing us for a second time!! It was corrupt from the moment we entered the EEC!
Unfortunately Joe Public would much rather see NHS improvements and less tax on his next pint than see defence spending increased. Thats the reality of it all.
