Wriggling? What is the HMS Queen Elizabeth? When did the UK ever have the sustained ability to launch into orbit? Go back to reading the Daily Mail, son, it's a safe place for bigotry.

Show me some Daily Mail links then boy, because I haven't read them. In fact if I were going to guess what paper said "no nukes" I'd say the Grauniad. India's policy of "guns not butter" cannot be justified given the very real issues facing their population. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guns_versus_butter_model http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guns_versus_butter_model What is the Queen Elizabeth? I'm glad you asked. It's a carrier that will come into service at some point in the future and we could not afford to keep a carrier capability going in the meantime. FACT. It's a class of 2 ships, one of which will be mothballed as soon as it is built as we cannot afford to operate it. FACT. The project is ongoing because penalty clauses mean it would cost too much to cancel it. FACT. The aircraft that will operate from it are the second choice as we couldn't afford to fit catapults. FACT. Shall I go on?
