Three Experts SPEAK OUT - Britain Cannot be Defended - Dangerous Complacency!

<p>Silicon Bites Ep318 | 2026-04-16 | The people who wrote Britain’s latest strategic defence plan just turned on the government that commissioned it. The dam of consensus broke at the Guildhall in Salisbury. A former NATO Secretary General — a man Sir Keir Starmer personally appointed to write Britain's blueprint for national defence — walked to a lectern, looked out at the room, and said:&quot;We are underprepared. We are underinsured. We are under attack. We are not safe. Britain's national security and safety is in peril.&quot;That man is Lord George Robertson. Former Labour defence secretary. Former head of the most powerful military alliance on Earth. And the person who, alongside Fiona Hill and General Sir Richard Barrons, delivered the government's own Strategic Defence Review just ten months ago. They gave Starmer sixty-two recommendations. He accepted all of them. He promised to deliver them at — these were his words — &quot;wartime pace.&quot; But then failed to deliver change at that speed or scale.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------SOURCES:Sky News — &quot;'Corrosive complacency' – Lord Robertson tears into Starmer and Reeves in extraordinary intervention on defence spending&quot; (15 April 2026) Global Defense Corp — &quot;Welfare payments chewed the defence budget.
