Costs

Hello Harry,
I wonder where you get your figures & how accurate.
Since 1974 I pay my own medical costs, not too dear.
I have a miserable pension from the UK, and a good one
paid by my own contributions.
Welfare ? what's that, I see lots of people who have no
apparent means of support except for the state. Maybe they could try to work.
Education, doesn't really seem to be what it should be (and I have a couple of PHD's in the family)
Defence, would willingly pay a lot more if the other stuff was reduced. Really this is not much to do with Defence Aviation which I would happily support.
BTW Heathrow, what a pest of an airport !!!
