Never underestimate the West, Recent voting in Falklands island was in UK favor. I am getting a feeling that west intentionally slowed their economies to check mate growing east especially China.
Not buying it. If you've seen the crisis and chaos caused as a result of the slowdown in the West you'd know there's no way any nation would CHOSE this outcome. The fact is that all any poltical cares about is votes and pretty much every single policatican who was an incumbent at the time if the financial crisis has been ousted as a direct result of the fincail crisis! They'd sell their own mother down the river for some extra votes nthey wouldn't hatch a plan to lost them!!
@topic build these yet we sell of Harriers and LHDs? Sell of Nimrod MPAs leaving an ISLAND nation with almost 0 idea of what lies beyond a few miles if our shores, Fires soldiers who are just returning from Afghanistan,ncuts the army down to its smallest aize for hundreds of years, cuts number of Challenger MBTs, Cuts Tornado numbers etc etc but atleast we still have a nuclear detterant? FFS what are these leaders smoking? What does the UK need a nuclear detterant for? It's not the Cold War anymore!!
I've heard a lot about the level of corruption present amongst the top leadership of the UK military and the arms industery, specifically BAE, and this just goes further to cement this notion in my mind.
The UK is falling apart in front of our eyes, the highest leadership has their priorities all messed up. They are cutting benifits to the very poorest, rainsing fees for those seeking higher education (thank you very much a-holes), cutting healthcare etc etc but as long as the rich are protected, well no rise in tax for millionaires, no relook at inheritance tax that in its current form allows the very richest to get around the rules because there are gaping holes in it.
What do you expect I guess when 25 out of the 29 cabinet ministers are multi-millionaires in their own right , the PM is worth £10 MN+ in his own right, his wife is a millionaire in her own right and he's set to inherit £40 MN+ from his parents? These people have been to the best schools and best unis in the country, what do they know about be common man?
Killing this country. I'll be glad when I leave it behind.
ex-empire I mean...
