@DaveOptic: Maths checking.

UK: 8.8% GDP

Germany: 11.5%

Difference: +2.7%

11.5/8.8 = 1.31

So Germany spends 31% more of its GDP that the UK.

I am struggling to see how the figures support your narrative

if the UK spent 8.8% of GDP in 2013 while Germany spent 11.5%, how can you then say that Germany spent 31% more of its GDP than the UK?

It didn't - you're pulling figures out of your arse like a good little Tory.
