A quick suggestion for a Federation press release :
cks to the lot of you. War costs money and blood. So long as you
wits elect corrupt, stupid, glory-hunting politicians you're going to have to pay through the nose for our training and put up with all the noise, inconvenience and danger that go with it. Every time ignorant snivelling self-obsessed morons are allowed to dictate training needs good men die, so if you don't trust us or want us, by all means shut down the Forces, force BAE Systems overseas and pull up the drawbridge on your dreary little magic kingdom.
Too scared to go that far ? Then you can pay for our training to be moved to the US, Canada, Namibia, Oz, NZ, Tahiti and anywhere else we decree fit for purpose. And as a first step we're shutting Lossie, Kinloss and Leuchars. The other bases go within the year. Of course, we won't contribute anything to your local economies, but hey, peace and quiet are more valuable.
Still too radical ? Then pay up and shut the
up.
Too abrupt ?
