Such a lack of knowledge leaves one breathless and utterly speechless.
I have felt the same way with regard to other statements she has made recently.

I heard on the intelligence grave vine (I have friends in high places in the doughnut) that G4S will be given the contract to defend British interests abroad.
Job jobbed, p.roblem solved, now move along.

I'm not so sure they were spoken in jest.
I'm afraid they are perfectly true, more's the pity.

This country has been very badly run since the 1960s, with no-one else to blame but our politicians.

In the 1930s, our armed forces were continually being run down, and look what happened after that.

The same thing is happening now, yet our glorious leaders still insist on sending what is left of our forces to fight pointless battles which really don't concern us.

For some reason, foreign aid is considered far more important than the defence of our nation.

Surely North Korea doesn't have to target the UK for you to be involved all they have to do is hit Europe which is a much more tempting target than Australia. (A British or Yank General said very recently that from a strategic point of view a North Korean missile targeted at Australia is a wasted missile)

An excellent article and map:


http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-10-16/north-korea-missile-range-map/8880894


They quite possibly already have the missiles and while a nuclear warhead might be beyond them at the moment they are also supposed to have biological and chemical warheads which could be fitted to intercontinental ballistic or orbiting missiles.
