Trafalgar Day

The UK Tory government is going all in on austerity. They don't have much choice with their national debt at 200% GDP, no exports to speak of and only financial services to generate revenue. So deep cuts must be made.

The British military is going to cut 8% of their spending by deferring weapons purchases and eliminating units in all branches of it's services. The British Navy, once the ruler of the waves, will downsize to 19 surface combatants and one aircraft carrier, with no aircraft until 2020 when if the F35 Lightning becomes available.

I suppose that the UK really doesn't need a military anymore. There isn't any wealth left in the British Isles to plunder, the climate is horrid and an immigrant muslim army is already ashore consuming the remaining wealth by sucking at the public teat.

The poor bastards. What a way to celebrate Trafalgar Day.
