I've said this before on other threads , that if we , as a country , can afford over £13bn. on 2 weeks of sports (?) in next years Olympics , then why can't we afford to defend this country & its surrounding islands & seas properly ? £13bn. would have kept Nimrod flying + the Harrier force with loads left for other projects !
Seeing the near criminal slaughter of the Nimrod airframes on TV & the pictures of our Harrier force hangared with years of service left in the airframes made my blood boil !
(Hang on , I'll go & sit in a darkened room to cool down , if I can
)
