In 1935 the Royal Navy had something like 12 battleships, 3 battlecruisers, 7 carriers, 66 cruisers, 184 destroyers and 60 submarines. Britannia ruled the waves and employed over 300,000 men to do so. Now the Royal Navy has maybe 63 active ships and submarines in various states of disrepair, of which 2 are carriers, 6 destroyers, 7 frigates and 10 submarines.
You'll note, keen-eyed observers of the naval scene, that one of these 6 destroyers was going to be deployed to Cyprus because Iranian proxies have been churlishly rocketing our airbase on the island which, cunningly, doesn't have any air defense. Day late and a dollar short you say, only to find out that the wretched destroyer's stuck in Portsmouth for repairs and the shop's only open 9-5 because Union.
Far out, the UK can't even send one of its very few warships to defend one of its territories in the face of an attack by an hostile power. But of course the power concerned is Moslem and it wouldn't do to offend all those imported votes asylum seekers. would it.
There are, per the latter day Delphi of the Internet, 134 British Admirals, a spectacular force of gold braid by anyone's reckoning, one which works out as well over two Admirals per ship in the rusting, broken down, shrunken Royal Navy.
Don't get me wrong. I'm a loyal son of the Empire and a UK patriot, a US one too, but this kind of malfeasance on a grand bipartisan scale is outrageous. There you are, an island, dependent on the sea lanes for your existence and you effectively shut your navy down. What utter traitors.
So that's the bad news, but people are waking up to the betrayal of their country by a gang of rainbow hued Cultural Marxist elites who actively hate, scorn and despise the serfs they rule over. Can that be fixed by votes or does something more seismic and kinetic have to happen. I'm inclined towards the latter, as in an inability to pay migrant invaders welfare checks and a USMC Expeditionary Force.
See you at the In & Out.

Too damn late. And they'll never sail as the minute the ship leaves dock the muzzies in Britain will go ape-shitter and really start causing problems.
Hopefully that means the real Brits will beat them down and kick them out of said Britain.
Beyond sad.....
I note an appalling lack of military service amongst the directors of the In & Out. Although the token Marine has experience in running down illegal immigrants with boats around Hong Kong and elsewhere, so he may be of future useful service.
Begs the question, are Brit Marines referred to as "Jarheads" or is that strictly a description used by the Colonials?
We need to send our military in to rescue the British people and leave the idiots in the ME to their own devices (which seems to be coming to a Shia/Sunni mess)
@www, we call them "Bootnecks"
On a similar note - the British Army is considering if make-up, etc. should be allowed for servicemen. Hail Britannia, indeed! https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15624809/As-war-rages-Iran-woke-MoD-asks-troops-Guys-you-want-wear-make-nail-polish.html
I hate to say it, but that is pathetic... The EIGHT P-8s you have are getting beat to death trying to cover what used to be done by 40 Nimrods operating world wide. I worked with them in the Atlantic and Med 83-87, and the Gulf in 90-91.
Noted, thank you. Distinctions and descriptions such as this are important.
