British Navy Only Working Nine-To-Five?

 

As you have probably heard, the British navy……well, here’s how The Daily Caller put it: “The Royal Navy’s mission to intercept Iranian drone threats has stalled in port because the Portsmouth repair yard now operates on a ‘nine-to-five’ schedule.”

Well, wouldn’t want to put anybody out, would we? Except, perhaps, the victims of Iranian drone attacks.

The mission to protect a British airbase from Iranian drone strikes was essentially placed on hold while maintenance crews finish welding and system overhauls during standard business hours, The Telegraph recently reported. The deployment of HMS Dragon (an air-defense destroyer designed to intercept high-speed missile and drones) to Cyprus has purportedly been delayed because the Ministry of Defence and private contractor Serco restricted shifts as a “cost-cutting” measure. Starmer probably needs the money to fund his country’s endless programs to care for illegal aliens.

Nine-to-five? Really?! There is a war going on, lads. Even if it isn’t yours. The Royal Navy was the biggest—and best—on earth not too long ago. Now that navy appears less than formidable…if not actually non-viable to use a term abortionists favor. This is sadly symbolic of the whole of Britain, a once great nation that appears to be intent on aborting itself. Hey, Prime Minister Starmer, if you listen closely you can hear Churchill and Thatcher weeping. Not that you would care.

Contrast this with the U.S. military, past and present. Case in point: the USS Yorktown was gravely—almost fatally-- damaged during the Battle of the Coral Sea in World War II. It was expected that repairs to the vital carrier, one of only a handful the US had at the time, would take several weeks or more. Instead, the ship’s dedicated and motivated repair teams, working around the clock, miraculously completed repairs in just 72 hours. Their sacrifice and hard work in getting the Yorktown battle ready again allowed her to participate in the Battle of Midway, where the Yorktown played a vital role in the battle that was to be the turning point in the war in the pacific.

As President Trump recently stated, the United States doesn’t really need the Brits in the fight against Iranian terror. Yet one would think that the Brits might want to feel needed in this regard.

But Starmer does not wish to do anything to alienate or upset the U.K.’s massive and ever-increasing Muslim population. Truth be told, Britain has already been defeated.

In any case, you stand no chance of winning if you’re only willing to work nine-to-five.

In the same boat with a lot of your friends
Waitin' for the day your ship'll come in
And the tide's gonna turn an' it's all gonna roll your way

Workin' nine to five, what a way to make a livin'

Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
