Boris is desperate for a trade deal with the US. So Imagine he sees it as a bargaining point. From what I have read the site would be quite small in fact. I have seen an estimate of less than one square mile.

Yep.
“Lt Col Jack Walker of the US Space Force told the BBC the US was “in discussion” with the UK about putting the radars “possibly in Scotland or further south”.
He said the site would house “anywhere from 10 to 15 parabolic antenna (large satellite dishes) for tracking and four to six for transmitting” and cover an area of about 1km square.
Each radar dish will be 15 metres in diameter.” (BBC)
I really dont see problems with it, just an idle post in Bullys. :blush:

Easy to get a trade deal with the US: just give them everything they want. Its worked with the other deals weve got so far.

Are the shops ready for chlorine-washed chicken, hormone-boosted beef and genetically modified veg? And the UK producers to be sold down the river… Boris will do them proud, I’m sure.
