I wonder why do they need more defense spending when UK does not have direct military threats? I can understand the economic stagnation as a consequence of bad management that need compensation from debt trapping by IMF, puppet governments, monopoly on foreign countries, and favoritism from global empires.
I imagine it's the same reason as the US, it's an easy way to funnel tax money back into the hands of the oligarchs.
