Priorities

I suppose with all the money we have spent on war mongering defence over the last decade and a half - that we could have built a high speed rail network and rolled out super fast broadband and secured our long term water supply and maintained our road network and a thousand other small and insignificant things.

But why do all that when we can help start two wars in and around the Middle East and export *freedom and democracy* to Iraq and Afghanistan?

Oh and sorry but we didn't mean to do this or this.

And then to rub it in we award the perpetrators this.
