How much more

 How much more.

The President of the USA has bullied and insulted Britain and bought UK USA relations to its knees. We are perhaps guilty of thinking that because of his election win all Americans share his views. There is no doubt that Europeans have free wheeled in many aspects of arms expenditure  to the detriment of our own manufacturing industries. There are plans to redress this balance - too late - not enough. Perhaps a penny increase in taxes would over time redress to balance and motivate private industry to take up the challenge in research and development?

Our nuclear weapons are dependant on American maintained rockets! Imagine if at Agincourt the English archers arrowheads were dependant on French manufactured shafts, feathers and longbows. Time to get real and taste the coffee - sorry tea!
