As a taxpayer who has to go private to get dental treatment, has to use BUPA to get timely medical attention, had to pay boarding school fees to get his kids a decent education and is still paying National Insurance contributions well after his 60th birthday because he has no choice in the matter I wonder if some philanthropist will come up with a way I can buy defence of my homeland on easy payments.

It is quite obvious that in my lifetime no government has looked after my needs and this one looks like sacrificing my ultimate insurance - our armed forces.
