Quite a few interesting points there Selby - including what does patriotism mean or look like?Contrast for instance the courageous actions of the individual British soldier - like your dad - with the actions of the PM in his election campaign. Refusing to do the Neil interview after he had conned the other leaders into thinking he would, not wanting to talk about the little boy sleeping on the floor of the hospital and then hiding in a fridge to escape the media.He has already shown what he is going to do for todays forces. He has already disowned the new aircraft carriers some people on here were raving about and now wants a review of defence spending. Not to give them the best kit - but the cheapest kit.https://www.forces.net/news/defence-spending-review-boris-johnsons-radarhttps://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/boris-johnson-to-take-aim-at-mod-over-wasted-cash-2gsdzs9v5
from Wilt's link''A government report found the merger caused some national security risks, but said on Friday concerns had been mitigated to an "acceptable level".''The founding family of the firm said the announcement on Friday evening was "cynically timed to avoid scrutiny".Sell sell sell, come and get the xmas specials while they're hot

Odd of the Govt to announce a decision like this at 10pm on the last working day before Xmas at Westminster.Ah well. I'm sure there was a sensible reason. It's not like this bunch to try to pull the wool over anyone's eyes is it?
