I'm intrigued by the concept of the UK being /under/ defended. Against
what military threat?


I'm sure every general in the world would love the forsight to be able to
see who their next enemy will be 10 or 20 years down the line.

Currently we have nuclear missile submarines with no one to aim them at,
high performance fighters with no one to fight, an aircraft carrier with
no aircraft and carrier escort destroyers with no carriers to escort.


So your solution would be what, start building military equipment after we've
been attacked? Btw , we don't have any carriers right now.
