... Statistics released by HM Treasury show defence spending in relation to GDP dropped to 1.9 percent in the last financial year.

"Critics point in particular to the Royal Navy’s decision to install a variant of Windows XP as the operating system on its missile-carrying Vanguard-class submarines. It was cheaper than the alternatives, but Windows for Submarines, as it is called, is also more vulnerable to malware as it comes off-the-shelf." etc.
