Navy to be mothballed
HALF of the Royal Navy is to be “mothballed” as it bears the brunt of cuts imposed after a series of expensive procurement projects and the hidden costs of the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Six destroyers and frigates and two other vessels are expected to be put into reduced readiness, known as mothballing, to achieve urgent savings of more than £250m. It can take up to 18 months to bring mothballed ships back into service.
The armed forces have been told to save more than £250m this year, and £1 billion by April 2008, amid a “rebalancing” of the Ministry of Defence’s (MoD’s) spending plans, defence sources disclosed.
The MoD will also cancel the last two of the eight Type-45 destroyers the navy was supposed to get. The navy was promised the government would provide these in exchange for cutting 15 major ships in 2004, sources said.
What is Blair doing? He is literally destroying our armed forces. First it was the army and now it is the Navy. He is leaving us defenceless.
At present we have less than half of the navy that we had during the Falklands and now another half is to be mothballed so we have infact got less than a quarter of what we had during the Falklands.

As always, he's doing what his wife's pope tells him to.
The Vatican has never forgiven Britain for the break with Rome under Henry VIII and the humiliation of Catholic Spain and the Armada of 1588 by Drake and the Royal Navy.
Britain and the Empire were also instrumental in humiliating the Vatican's champions (Kaiser Wilhelm and Adolf) in WW1 and 2.
For that, Britain and the old Dominions must be made to pay - along with the US. (The pope can reach an accommodation with Russia, so that the Soviets can then be used in an effort to wipe out Israel, which will happen some time in the next few years.)
For a description of the pope's vendetta against Britain, Vigilance, A Defence of British Liberty, p 125ff, by Ashley Mote, is good. Likewise The Principality and Power of Europe by Adrian Hilton, former Tory candidate for Slough, who effectively got deselected for the information revealed in that book. (He was replaced by Shiela Gunn, former press agent to John Major.)
None of this gets a really high profile. It is quietly going on underhand, while we are focussed on immigration, crime, Islam and job losses but these are more the symptoms rather than the disease.
would you suggest wiping out the vatican or allying ourselves with the vatican?
I don't think the vatican has any involvement though.
I'd suggest repealing the Emancipation Act of 1829. Catholics should not be permitted to be members of parliament because their first loyalty is to a hostile foreign power, the Vatican Church-State.
The official Vatican position is that Britain's parliament is "a lie" to be "spat upon" and that HM's sovereignty is "a pretence."
In that sense they are similar to Muslims.
Unfortunately, the Queen, Parliament and the C of E (Archbishop Robert Runcie) effectively committed treason by allowing the Pope here in 1982.
The Vatican was - and is - inextricably involved in the subversion of Ulster and trying to force a part of Britain into a united Ireland.
But England is the main objective.
I can only suggest have a read of the references suggested, as and when time/opportunity allow.
The danger is all the greater for not being recognised as such.
I appreciate that many individual Catholics are loyal to Britain just as many individual Muslims are not commtted terrorists but they are not responsible for their respective church-states' political/religious agendae (which effectively converge where the hated Protestant Britain and old Dominions are concerned).
In history, whenever Britain openly opposed the Vatican, she won and had outstanding leadership, e.g. Elizabeth 1, Cromwell, Queen Victoria, George VI, Churchill.
They didn't always get it right - Victoria committed a horrendous mistake of opening diplomatic relationships with the Vatican late in her reign - but ever since about 1952, when HM visited the Pope, dressed in black as a sign of contrition, Britain has deteriorated.
I believe it is no accident that our modern immigration problems started about then, with the sudden influx of West Indians and Pakistanis that has precipitated the multi-culti mess of today, not so much the foreign immigrants themselves but the anti-Britain 5th column that opened the floodgates, as they continue to do.
Our current immigration problems stem largely from the EU, which is another Vatican project. The books by Lindsay Jenkins on The Last Days of Britain and Britain Held Hostage are also worth reading, as is Overcrowded Britain, also by Ashley Mote.
This is what Cardinal Manning said in 1859:
"If ever there was a land in which work is to be done, and perhaps much to suffer, it is here. I shall not say too much, if I say that we have to SUBJUGATE and SUBDUE, to CONQUER and RULE, an imperial race. We have to do with a will which reigns throughout the world, as the will of old Rome reigned once. We have to BEND or BREAK that will which nations and kingdoms have found invincible and inflexible. Were heresy conquered in England, it would be conquered throughout the world. All its lines meet here, and therefore in England the Church of God must be gathered in its strength."
The Vatican plans 100s of years in advance. 150 years is a short interval in Vatican thinking. I would say Manning's strategy is right on target.
It is just not seen for what it is - which is just how Rome operates.
I have a booklet coming out fairly soon which will hopefully put a lot of this in clearer context.
But if you want to appreciate Vatican thinking as it really is, think in terms of Adams and McGuinness. No-one, not even Al-Qaeda, hates Britain more than those two and their followers.
But they have plush accommodation in Westminster - that shows how effective the strategy is.
But I don't regard them as the main movers and shakers - a much more likely candidate is Cherie Blair's confessor. It would be interesting to know what order of the priesthood he belongs to.
Really, there are only two thrones left in the world.
And the Pope doesn't tolerate any competition. That is what we are really seeing in Britain today.
The Muslims are basically his storm troopers - Islam and the Vatican are hand in glove at the top.
I think this has more to do with the cost of having a 'real' aircraft carrier. We will have one small fleet with and AC at the centre. Not a bad idea overall.
We don't really need a fleet so I am happy to see spending reduced here. However, overall spending on the armed forces should be rising in these dangerous times.
I do think we need a bigger navy. you can bet that argentina will try and get the falklands again.
