According to the World Bank, our Defence Spend as % of GDP was 4.2% or so up until the last years of the Cold War. It is now around 2.3% and is due to fall to around 1.88%, below the NATO benchmark of 2%.

Where are we spending that cash? Asylum seekers, NHS, Pensions or 55" flat screens for our army of benefits claimants?

We need to be told.
