[The UK military is to receive an extra £4bn a year over the next four years, the government has said. The money will fund space and cyber defence projects such as an artificial intelligence agency, and could create 40,000 new jobs. Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said "letting go" of older weapons would create "headroom to invest". The Ministry of Defence's annual budget is around £40bn, so the £16.5bn over four years is about a 10% increase.] Good News it means more Jobs, |

No Johnson is still paying it. It is just talks on it. Some are saying put all those funds into funding the BBC World Service. |

The world is very unpredictable at the moment and we need to be able to defend ourselves. It's a very sensible decision

They're planning on invading people AGAIN??
The 22 countries that escaped Britain’s invasion are Monaco, Mongolia, Marshall Islands, Mali, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Kyrgyzstan, Ivory Coast, Andorra, Bolivia, Belarus, Democratic Republic of Congo, Burundi, Central African Republic, Guatemala, Chad, Paraquay, Vatican City, Tajikistan, Sweden, Uzbekistan and Sao Tome and Principle. So you still have some fun play to do...

Defend ourselves from who? We're surrounded by Europe, Scandinavia and America. I think we're in one of the safest corners of the world.

If I had to guess I'd say it's our precarious relationship with Russia.

Remembering Kerry
|
I'm not usually against spending on defence.
However, this is a strange time to be announcing this new programme of funding. I think there's a great deal more urgent need of funds within the UK particularly during this pandemic and post the pandemic too. So think this move not appropriate at this moment in time. |
