Scary isn’t it. Having the technology to map undersea infrastructure and probably plant explosives to be detonated at a later date.
70% of uk gas comes via one pipeline from Norway.
If there is one takeaway it is to spend more money on defence probably at the expense of welfare.
Yes, indeed. When our Royal Navy was really big and scary, we did not have “welfare” to talk of, and certainly not the NHS. Our spend vs. GPD was massively higher than in modern times, and our armed forces have suffered from massive cut backs. The Royal Navy is a shadow of what it should be, and now the international threats have become very clear again, it will take a very bold and brave government to put the “Great” into Britain again and truly protect out interests.
To think at the Battle of Jutland in 1916 the Royal Navy had 28 dreadnoughts, just in the Home Fleet alone, available including 4 of the 5 super-dreadnoughts of the Queen Elizabeth Class that in fact went on to serve in WW2. Yes, we know that one modern frigate, let alone a nuclear attack submarine has more fire power than all of those put together, but it is clear our dismally small Navy, that has the few warships undergoing “maintenance” , scares no one, and Trump is correct to say it is all a joke, the aircraft carriers are just “toys”. To not be able to get a single warship to the Eastern Mediterranean within a few days says it all.
Yes, we the British public now must be prepared for the real sacrifices it will take to reverse fully the madness of what is, not only our Royal Navy, but the whole military as, if we do not, we must learn that we are going to lose big time our democratic rights and freedoms.

PS our Welfare State and NHS will be no good to us anyway once we are under a dictatorship, or dead!
