UAVs

One of the points brought out in the programme was that the Predator could do 80% of the job of the Nimrod - I disagree. As the Nimrod has no SAR capability, nor the large number of analysts required to support a Predator mission it's the other way around.

However, when the Dear Leader stated that we'd bought 3 Predators he forgot to mention two important facts:

1. We haven't bought any of the analytical equipment for the imagery that it collects

2. We can't bring it to the UK to train (CAA issues notwithstanding) as we can't afford to pay the VAT on them
