No kidding.
British forces are currently engaged in another conflict and in the middle of a bloody defense cut!
We don't even have a carrier anymore and not likely to see one for nearly a decade. The only CAS aircraft we had, the Harrier, has been scrapped and the army is being shaved down to the bone. But never mind that, start a war!
