In other unrelated news the number of asylum claims from Afghanistan, Eritrea, Libya, Syria and Yemen has suddenly rocketed the government is at a loss to explain why. Maybe they aren’t necessarily from those countries

I wonder what Max Hastings thinks about our present defense capability, I imagine he is as apoplectic as the senior defense people in the media this week. We needed an efficient modern fighting force to defend and prosecute if need be, instead we got grandstanding and toys for tory Eton boys. We are not threatened by anyone in the Asia-Pacific, a typical tory delusion. Now apparently we could only hold out in a conventional war, far more likely, for 5 days. Tories themselves must be wondering if they can do anything right. Er, no.

It's not the Blitz and the UK has adequate air defences and capability. At the outbreak of the first and second world war, Britain's army was inadequate. It has always been that way.

You are Fred Kite and I claim my £5. Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.
