The Queen's Speech and National Defence



When we have digested the Queen’s Speech today, it should be very easy to agree with General Sir Richard Shirreff that “Britain was now little different from any other semi-pacifist, European social democracy, more interested in protecting welfare and benefits than maintaining adequate defences.”  Presumably, the Remainians have decided that the smoke and mirrors of the UK “commitment” to spend 2% of GDP on “defence (whatever that comprises)” is sufficient evidence to conclude that Great Britain will be safer with its equally lily-livered allies in (a reformed) Europe?  Give us strength!
