Embarrassing. Getting rid of Harriers, a useful aircraft carrier and replacing them with 2 future big carriers with no planes on them. As for the other stuff, it all sounds like austerity and govt job cuts. Haven't taken too much notice today, fresh all over the news, but will digest at my leisure.
