Is Britain Abandoning Military Defense to Fund More Socialism?
14th September 2026
Hint: Yes.
It’s a curious position for European governments; for the past few years they have been rattling their sabers over the Russian war in Ukraine, calling for boots on the ground. It’s the kind of intervention that would automatically trigger WWIII. Yet, these same governments are completely unprepared in terms of military spending, armament and training.
When the British government refused to join the US blockade against Iran in the Strait of Hormuz, almost no one cared because the British have allowed their navy to decay into irrelevance. Twenty years ago, they had nearly 50 active fighting vessels and today they are down to 22 vessels. Britain’s GDP per capita is currently lower than the state of Alabama. And, they keep importing thousands upon thousands of third world migrants, with the vast majority relying on taxpayer funded subsidies.
When given a choice between funding the British military or funding more immigrants, the government has chosen to fund more immigrants. Britain has increased welfare spending by 16% in the past 5 years alone.
