So, renewed NATO raison d'être means we get to keep both carriers -

And I understand the French have a couple of warships that Cameron could buy for the navy too

BISHI

Really ..! I though buying from an independent Scotland was going to be hard - but weaponry from France ..!

Why not? Hardly used, just need to change the steering wheel to the other side and then turn the gearbox round so there is more forward gears than reverse. Job done.

Well done

Indeed it is an interesting about face, although the army seems to be having more issues atm.

Maybe, Not Flash Gordo will be the savior of the universe after all, with those un-cancel-able contracts.

Surely now it must be seen as a good thing ?
If GB had made breakable contracts, then DC would have cancelled at least one of them years ago and presented it as a good thing.  Now we (apparently) see the absolute wisdom of having two aircraft carriers.  So surely we have to thank GB for his foresight and correctly reading the future defence needs of the not quite United Kingdom.

Unless of course one aircraft carrier is for normal defence and the second will be used to defend England from the hoards of bankrupt Scots?

Either way, well done Gordo!
