Interesting military tactical analysis. So an enemy weapons platform (The second largest surface unit of the Argentine Navy) is only a threat if in range or heading towards our forces? It doesn't have any effect on how we deploy our forces or allocate surveillance to make sure it doesn't turn...

I know, I wasn't going to be deflected on to a completely unrelated topic but couldn't help but point out the irony of the other posters position of wanting to intervene in a unilateral protectionist way (which may be entirely justified/legitimate) breaching EU rules. The rules of a club he and...

I will post any opinion I have on that topic on the thread discussing it. Of course your solution is State/government intervention/aid. A path that is somewhat restricted by our EU membership ... which you are of course in favour of continuing, rather ironic.

Your posts and opinions suggest otherwise. I would love to be a fly on the wall at one of your private revolutionary Corbynista gatherings. I bet the (true) opinions expressed there would be something to behold.

Usual Anti Brit/UK mindset from a Jezza groupie take no notice. The self loathing left would hand back NI,Falklands,Gibraltar,ANother territory given half a chance despite the wishes of the people living there or the blood spilt retaining them.
