The carriers aren't that expensive - about the same as that House of Commons renovation I think?
The planes that will (eventually?) be based on it were about double the last time I thought about this (don't have the figures right now.)

If we needed helicopter carriers we could have built a couple of those, and/or some landing ships, support vessels, or loads of fishieries protection boats (ie the stuff the Navy actually wanted) for less than what the two useless aircraft carriers cost.

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youWell the F35B is already late and over budget.
We're selling our helicopter carrier HMS Ocean (which has been one of the busiest ships in the navy) to Brazil, so presumably we don't need any helicopter carriers.............

The carriers will cost £6bn all in, for a likely 50 year service life. At current spending levels the NHS will soak up £400bn in that time, Lancashire alone will spend £17bn on adult social care over the same timescale. Social protection, welfare etc will be 12 trillion pounds over the same time scale.
