Any remote chance of any sort of factual evidence - as opposed to opinion - to back that up? That is, factual evidence directly showing where the carrier budget is affecting core RN capabilities, or even RAF capabilities, preferably based on some form of official budget. As opposed to wibble?
This reminds me a bit of "the actors" in Blackadder III. Have you got an amusing skit you have to go through every time someone says the word "carrier"?
