"British troops will not join EU Army say Ministry of Defence

The Ministry of Defence has corrected claims by a campaign group that British troops could be forced to join an EU defence force after Britain leaves the European Union.

These false claims were corrected by the Ministry of Defence, which confirmed that the UK has always had the sovereign right to deploy military troops and equipment and will continue to do so after Brexit"


They obviously havent read the relevant clauses in the Political Declaration that means the UK is tied into all aspects of EU defence structures!!!!



"At present, the divorce deal promises to keep the UK linked to a series of EU military structures including the European Defence Fund,the European Defence Agency and Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO).

Britain could be forced to pay billions of pounds into EU defence projects and contribute troops and other military assets to Brussels defence units as a result.

Lieutenant-General Jonathon Riley, a former Army infantry officer and supporter of Veterans for Britain said: “Britain will be structurally, diplomatically and financially tied and subordinated to the defence architecture of
the unaccountable, unelected EU Commission.”"


Let's get a bona fide Lawayers interpretation of such because the MOD are incompetent.

Boeing’s F-18 jet may have a leg up in Germany over Eurofighter

The race between Boeing’s F-18 jet and the Airbus Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft to replace Germany’s Tornado fighter-bombers has tilted toward the American plane, according to a German media report.



Why it should take between 3 and 5 years is questionable, but also why is there a need in the first place!

What has happened to BAE sp? I have been holding and awaiting next divi, since bought back in at 480p. All brokers reckon 650-660p within 6 months? So topped up today at 535p, before started raising again and stopping for day at 539? Not sure how and why, but this should be over 600p before ex-divi date of 17 Oct, the II’s are making a killing here.
