> As Peter Hitchens has pointed out, there are no aircraft for this big new carrier because the UK isn’t spending enough money to adequately support its military needs. <
Sort of like the UK rolling out a new battleship in 1910 with no shells for the cannon. On second thought, it’s not like that at all. The UK had many battleships back in 1910. Just one with no shells would be no big deal.
But the HMS Queen Elizabeth is it. That’s all the UK has.
