In a week when Britain is "Doing God" with a visit by a Pope who once belonged to the Hitler Youth, it was a timely reminder this lunchtime from one UK military man that our country's economic security should be uppermost in the hearts and minds of every citizen, even if this means less expenditure on high tech weapons.
I'm probably not alone in wondering whether Tony Blair has long term Papal ambitions, even if New Labour "didn't do God", when Alastair Campbell was around anyway. Unfortunately, it did - and didn't do - rather a lot of other things which have potentially compromised the country's economic self-determination.
For a nation which prides itself, rightly or wrongly, on an independent political system, our present predicament should be a concern to all free-thinking people. I believe the Coalition Government is genuine in its aim to deliver economic security, even if I happen to disagree with some of its policies, which - thank the gods ! - I can do freely.
