We are no longer a military power, well done Cameron you ****.

Do you want to expand on that? Are you referring to the scrapping of the HMS Ark Royal plans? If you are it would be a good idea to specify rather than make seemingly random comments.

I have to agree, I'm not from Australia, however I am curious and want to participate in the discussion but I have no idea what you're on about.

Breathing is necessary for survival.

I have to think this may be the Conservative compromise for where the Lib Dems compromise on tuition fees, so to be fair, I wouldn't blame the tories.

I think it's the fact that the HMS Ark Royal (newest and most up to date in terms of technology) out of the rest of three carriers I believe or maybe two is getting scrapped which includes the harrier jets as well. Which If the BBC is correct it means the UK will not have the ability to launch fighter jets from the sea, let's hope nothing bad happens from now until 2019.

Although on the plus side, the two new carriers are still going ahead. But that is probably only down to the fact that it would cost more to actual scrap them.

For survival, yes. Good observation.
