Never mind the logistics of where a NFZ might be operated from, what about the fact the RAF top brass have been saying for sometime now that they've only just enough Typhoons to cover UK northern and southern QRA duties and Falklands air defence, so can't deploy Typhoon in the close air support role in Afghanistan (assuming it's ready for the role), let alone supporting a NFZ...

Headmaster Cameron states that a NFZ would be for humanitarian reasons. So why did his heroine The Iron Lady not adopt the same stance over the likes of Mugabe, etc, etc? The hypocrisy and double-standards adpoted by our minority elected, inexperienced and point-scoring politicians is unbelievable if it weren't so true.

Does the PM, the Chief of the Air Staff, or their 'advisors' really know what they're doing?
