Notice how their cutting back, and our military spending is full speed ahead?
We pay terrorist not to shoot our people, I mean how rich are we and how sad is it that we're actually trying to buy our safety?
Coz that's what it boils down to.
The grounding of the £1.2 billion Astute hunter-killer comes at the end of a dire week for the Royal Navy which has seen its carrier force halved, Harrier jump jets axed and warship force reduced by almost a quarter.
It is understood that the boat, which is first in its class, ran aground by its stern in a manoeuvre that “went slightly wrong” after it had dropped some sailors ashore in tidal waters off the Isle of Skye.
