Who owns the Reds
SOSL is entirely wrong, the British people do not own the Reds any more than they own nuclear subs or fylingdales; they simply provide the cash from which they are purchased and maintained
The British people gain certain rights over the services by reason of the tax support, they may demand the services defend them and their interests at home and abroad and if required die in the attempt but the services, guided by the government, will decide how this should be done.
The British public may exercise their opinion of this at the next election
