Chip, do you know if the UK puts out 2% of its GDP toward defense? I know they built a new aircraft carrier but the only have half of the F-35 junk Strike Fighters they need. I was wondering if this is because of the backlog at the aircraft manufacturing plant or lack of money? What do you think?

Conservatives are "Big on Defence" but I don't know that, that is the True Case. I do know they have greatly reduced their Overhead closing several RAF bases over the years from My Time they have also lost Revenue from the US Navy and or NSA that leased quite a bit of Land there in My Day.
