Interesting comments for and against.
My question is where are Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland etc etc who all have very capable Air Force's who could do the job. Why is it up to us?
I am all for standing up for people's rights, but every time, without fail it is us that get involved with a cost to us, the British Taxpayer.
Let's put it another way. 112 Tomahawk Cruise Missiles were launched at a cost of £330k each. We have not been told how many of these were British ones but let's say we launched 30 of them at a cost of £10 Million pounds to the UK Taxpayer.
It costs approx £1 Million Pounds to run a Special Needs School per annum. So if you used this money to look after them you could run 10 of them for a year. Worth thinking about
Do we see other European Union Members contributing...........no! That is what gets me. Other Countries need to take their fair share of costs. We are meant to live in a democracy after all aren't we? Only when it suits I think. In the past we were a superpower, but we are not anymore. Well done to France, Italy and Spain for doing their bit.
Thats my view anyway.
I wonder what will happen when the Falklands kick off again, because be sure it will. I wonder how many people will help us then.
