I know that there are 2 new carriers but the amount of decommissioning and reduction of numbers is ridiculous. Isn't a navy a country's power projection? Does the UK government not realise this? Do they not care?
(For reading: http://www.savetheroyalnavy.org)

Meanwhile, Japan, which has a smaller defence budget, is increasing the size of all of its armed forces branches. I know they don't have foreign commitments and only defend themselves, but even so how does that work out? Why is the government always overspending yet reducing numbers?

you could add the australian, canada or NZ army since on paper they all belong to the queen (didn't really matter in ww2 though).

He was an IRA plant that got bullied by Protestants or something when he was at school.

He's now in prison serving an 18 year sentence and his bomb cache's have all been found.

They are free and independent to do their own thing. The Queen is just the figure head of state to them, like a grandmother.
