Many reasons why we are not there and having to send fighters all the way from Cyprus rather then from carriers.

General Sanders sent everybody a warning, maybe we should act.

There have been warnings for over a decade - from sending under equipped troops into combat to outsourcing recruitment to Capita (and not sacking them when the repeatedly failed to hit recruitment targets ) the decline has taken place in public

Even though I use them occasionally, this is something I agree with them on.

I agree also, but this isn’t to save the children, but to look after the lobbyists.

The whole regulation of vaping is a fucking joke. Absolutely fucking toothless.

Very true.

The lobbyists for saving children's health?

If they were so keen on the welfare of children, they would have been banned years ago, not at the start of an election campaign.

It's another one of those things that make a good headline without it costing anything. They can't/won't police it so will be virtually meaningless.

Probably. It was just something that I agreed with, not expecting it to be implemented. Especially considering they won't be in power after the next GE.

Two-fold. Appeases both the recognised nicotine sellers and those who are calling for tighter control for children.

You mean recognised nicotine retailers? There’s no such thing. You don’t need a permit or licence to sell tobacco or vapes (both of which contain nicotine). Literally any business can sell either (subject arguably to planning law, although even that doesn’t technically apply without an enforcement letter).

This is our money folks - being wasted - the Govt that disregarded the "wargame" into a pandemic and that depleted our ability to respond to a threat that their own report said was the biggest threat we faced is now stripping away the capability to combat a future threat. Doubtless the same mentality is the one that has left our military threadbare.
