              I mean FFS, once she stole milk from kids you could expect anything from her, neither of which is good.
              The milk snatcher thing is unfair. She had to make a spending cut and it was either milk or books.

              As older primary school kids could get school dinners and it's a bit sh*t if you don't have a textbook to learn from she cut milk.

                One of her more wonderful decisions was the proposed scrapping of HMS Endurance.

                http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Endurance_(1967)

                Nice one that.

                And the present set of lunes seem to be intent on doing even worse than that piece of idiocy.
                Aircraft carriers are rapidly becoming obsolete these days, with the development of long-range drones and satellites. And anyway, one nuclear torpedo or depth charge could practically blow one out of the water, or certainly kill everyone on board and sink it. You need an increasingly elaborate defence structure to protect them, which the UK probably doesn't have.

                Admiral Lord Fisher would be turning in his grave at the idea of spending vast amounts to build two of the brutes simply for political reasons. They're today's equivalent of airships in 1911.

                Or so I reckon (Could be wrong though, or a bit premature. But then the things aren't due to come into service until about 2025 are they? )
