There is no point in NATO

 No Royal Air Force bases in Europe

                                                      Cyprus

NATO is a bone of contention for politicians, some wish the UK to stay in, others push for us to pull out.

I am in favour of pulling out, I am not left-wing in my view, it is a realistic view of life since the late 1980s.

NATO was set up in the 1950s, when the threat of war with Russia was a real concern, nowadays, Russia has other things to worry about; I have said since the late 70s, and still do say, there is a greater threat from an Islam state than from Russia.

The reality is there are NO Royal Air Force bases in Europe, the only base near Europe is Cyprus.

Successive governments have stripped our national defences to the point there are no Airborne Early Warning stations in Scotland.

What make me laugh, ironically, is the people who go on about our allies in the EU, who are they? The only people we could rely on have been the USA, and the Commonwealth states.
