Though I agree with much of what you said, I'm glad of a continuing funding of anti-terrorism. You'd complain if the police (and others) regularly failed to stop terror plots and people were being killed, houses blown up etc. The country is far from perfect, but trust me, the UK is very good sneaky stuff, though the methods used are far from pleasant.
But come the day of world peace when all boundaries of race, religion, class and nationality are overthrown and greed and jealousy are a thing of the past I will be the first in line calling for the disbandment of the secret services and armed forces.
Well that is until my people arrive from across the galaxy and take over }

I agree, there are many working for councils who are useless at their jobs and/or lazy feckwits who soak up our taxes. Sack them, promote those who actually do the work.
However, trident is the ultimate deterrent (don't believe the hype that it can never be used!). History has many lessons to teach about war, weapons, national stability etc etc.
A weapon that can be launched undetected from anywhere in the world is a terrifying prospect. It is right for your enemies to fear and respect your capabilities.
