Sir - Another week-another report of Russian military planes flying menacing close to British air space. But even if they encroach inside it-what could this country do?
Our forces have been decimated, and would be no match for a fight with Russia or any country, yet rather than make our forces able to defend our lands, we would rather continue giving money away in foreign aid.
Pakistan has 13 billionaires-yet gets £405 million, India sends rockets to space but gets £210 million, south Africa wealthy enough to host a world cup but gets £16 million, and Kenya has a £32 billion economy and makes a fortune from gas, minerals and mining et but gets £136 million-to name a few
