why cut some thing mean soe much to britan now we have got any thing that means to us now cos in 2014 we got the f 35 come ofer her but it the same as th harrier.why the fuck did he cut harrier they were diesind as being a chep aircraft plane for long disteduns traveall i think we shoud bring back the harriers now cos i dont some u.s plane tacking of on british turf.
Utterly, completely, totally, absolutely and wholly one of [if not the] most short-sighted, blinkered, stupid and irredeemably f**ked up acts of bastardry in British military history. No aircraft carrier borne planes for 10 YEARS???! Beyond unbelievable.
YOu lot voted for the conservatives they only stick up for shop owners and bankers thats why people hated them so much. labour should of blocked the exporting of manufacturing labour to China.
Is it not a choice of bankrupt, Labour, no money in the bank, and the populas moderately happy. Conservative, money being exported in the interst of the 'me and my mates in the city' and populas bankrupt. The line was trickle down would work.....only for those who claimed trickle down would work. We have watched evaporation, and condesation take place on the upper non dom rafters.When will we see the removal of the minimum wage, O sorry, inflation will do that !
This really does piss me off. Sure i understand the spending cuts, but to cut on our forces and to ground a simply superb figther jet? Its just not on...
@bullseatpizza Direct your venom towards the Labour cretins who borrowed vast sums of money which we will now take years to pay back. The current government had no option but to make cuts in an attempt to get our chaotic finances under control.
@learn99toswim Because if they successfully invade the islands and capture the airbase there, the UK has absolutely no means of trying to claim them back. A 1982 style operation just isn't possible.
@learn99toswim lol think about it, airsuppority is KEY to win a war. if the aircrafts that are there, get bombed supprisingly we have no air defence, we cnt just send torando pilots on a long haul flight to do 1 attack raid thats wasting lots of money. we have oil over there, argentina faught us because of this plus the facted they think this peice of land is there's. im not gonna be supprised to see them try attacking us. might fail but still they will try because of this.
@helimeal How myopic & naive are you? You lay all the blame at the door of Cameron, have you forgotten that LABOUR led us to financial ruin by borrowing huge sums of money, which will take years to pay back? It is the same deal EVERYTIME we suffer a Labour administration in Britain, we end up in huge debt & our military power is reduced. They screwed the UK in the 1960's- Eg Cancelled TSR 2, the 70's Eg scrapped Ark Royal & the fixed wing fleet. They ALWAYS leave us bankrupt.
Mate, read again, I was merely correcting somebody elses post, Cameron, Osbourne 'n' Clegg aren't the ones in control of this country, the banks are. Whatever the banks say goes, including taxpayer funded bailouts and bonuses for epic failure. The banskers bonuses for this year alone probably would've kept the Harrier fleet going until its planned retirement date.
As for Labour, couldn't agree with you more utter, utter tossers, they've properly fucked the UK (again).
@helimeal Maybe, but its the coalition in charge now that has decided to cut the defence budget to the extent of forcing the retirement of the current Ark Royal and the Harriers, as well as reducing the number of Typhoons. Now we're finding out the cuts are actually costing more money than they are saving.
They are all as bad as each other, that's what it boils down to.
You really couldn't make this shit up could you?! Gross economic mismanagement/ vandalism at the hands of our banksters and their buddies in government (Labour or ConDems), who'd be a tax payer eh?
