Cynical fact of the day part 1

The British Ministry of Defence secured a £1.7 billion increase in its budget, which is on top of the £32 billion already spent during 2006-2007. And as Mr Monbiot states clearly in the Guardian on Tuesday this week, "there are currently no major conventional military threats to the UK or NATO...it is now clear that we no longer need to retain a capability against the re-emergence of a direct conventional strategic threat". This was a statement made by The MoD. So where the hell is the tax payers money going?
