The trouble is, we don't prepare for it, we don't store the stuff we just sell it abroad, then when we need the stuff and goods, the PM will say, lets gets the military in, what when its to late.
if we did get all the equipment to cope with siberian temperatures and conditions we would be prepared ,but we would only use them once in 20 yrs and then the public would be winging that we wasted all that money and we could have built 3 hospitals with the money blahblahblah
cany have it both ways arthur
