Their figures are wrong.
Britain spends 2.5% of its GDP on defence whereas France only spends 1.9% and Germany only 1.3%.
A THIRD of all total EU defence spending is spent by Britain.
World's biggest defence spenders
1) United States - 522,000,000,000
2) China - 70,480,000,000
3) Britain - 66,388,574,400
4) France - 45,000,000,000 (also includes the Gendarmerie)
5) Japan - 44,310,000,000
6) Germany - 34,100,000,000
7) Italy - 28,182,800,000
