  11. #Weymouth #VeteransParade June 2012, which passed right in front of Aaran Guesthouse. The parade included representatives of all the #ArmedServices, including #RAF, #RoyalNavy, #BritishArmy, #RoyalMarines #Cadets, #WRAF, #WRAC, #WREN and #MilitaryVehicles

  12. The #RoyalNavy is an expensive farce. It should be shut down.

    The UK can no longer afford a bluewater navy, so it runs a fake navy whose ships are either broken or rusting away. The #Torygraph is furious archive.is/dCFUI 🤣

    They should flog off the hulks, and buy small cheap coastal patrol vessels like Ireland's. No more frigates, destroyers, carriers, subs or assault ships.

    Sadly, even the Green Party #GPEW is unwilling to call time on the wannabe navy. archive.ph/qMh9Z
