I am aware, unfortunately…
 

I’ve also seen first hand some of the contracts and projects on HS2.  

Sufficed to say it’s no wonder the country is broke. They quite literally pour our taxes down the drain. 
 

Anyone that promotes higher taxes clearly has never seen how the goverment spends those taxes. 

When parts of the services have to cancel exercises or close funding lines for hardware and kit because they are required to change entire fuel suppliers and re-configure fuel tanks, because said new supplier has a lower carbon footprint......

The game is up. Said it for a few years that the UK Armed Forces are cooked, and it has absolutely accelerated under this Govt with their quite frankly insane 'direction'

Yeah, agreed 100%… plus it’s not just the armed forces. You can extrapolate this across the entire government. Every single department, every thing it touches is run pathetically badly and spends money like it’s Monopoly money. 
 

I genuinely believe most people have no idea how bad all this stuff is. 

Most people don’t want to face the reality that the UK is becoming a third world country.

Suicidal empathy is the Labour government splurging £10 billion a year on welfare for foreigners, £13 billion a year on foreign aid, and £15 billion in the coming years on hotels & HMOs for illegals and then saying “sorry no money for our own national defence”

That's ridiculous. Net zero is a pointless pipe dream, and I hadn't appreciated that it had touched the military where it matters.

When the battlefield is strewn with bodies and broken equipment, why would anyone give a monkeys about the carbon footprint.

Just wait till Burnham gets into power. This is just the start….country run by a party many of which wouldn’t be employable in a normal business (and have never had responsible jobs) but are trusted with making decisions on billions.

Labour's defence review is expected to say that all kit must be biodegradable, so that decomposes along with the bodies of our losing army.
