Support the Royal Navy
The Flea supports the Royal Navy. I hope the British government chooses to do so properly (via All Agitprop, all the Time... ):
Defence company BAE Systems has warned the British government that it cannot build two new aircraft carriers to budget based on the current designs, the Financial Times reported on Monday. Britain's biggest defence contractor has told the Ministry of Defence that it would cost up to four billion pounds (5.8 billion euros, 6.5 billion dollars) to construct the ships, compared with an estimate of 2.8 billion pounds made in January, the paper said.
A moving testimony is a reminder of the debt owed by the American people to those who fought to defend their liberty (via Misha). It is a debt owed by all free peoples. We all owe that same debt to the Royal Navy. A world with two British supercarriers is a world where the United States does not have to carry the entire burden of defending freedom. Let us pray for the continuing wisdom of Prime Minister Blair's government in this matter.
