But that's ok 'cos we'll have our own Brixt SatNav

Which will be tulip.

When the RAF can't use Gallileo any more, that could be genuine.

That's assuming it even works in the first place. It wouldn't be the first grand European project to fall awkwardly on it's arse...

(And it's Galileo, btw)

Just download Waze, it's free. Although we used it to get back from Shropshire last week and it took us through a place called Birmingham. Still, you get what you pay for...

Yes, but have you ever tries eating spaghetti while looking at Waze, flying a fighter jet?

Well we certainly have a reason to sleep with a gun under the pillow. Bringing troops and assets home would be a smart move if we wanted to be in a better position to defend ourselves.

Don't be silly. It's much better to fight the battles of world war three in the towns and cities of Europe rather than in the home counties.

And we'll do our best to avoid collateral damage. Honest.

Don't worry. The RAF will use GPS.

And anyway. The only time it will be really important is if, heaven forbid, the UK has to fight to protect Europe. And if they want us to be less capable then that's going to be their problem.
