You might think that a man who drove into 100 people, using his car as a weapon, would NEVER be allowed to drive again.
It turns out he will be able to, around three years after leaving prison by taking an extended retest.
Why should he ever be able to get behind the wheel again?

New British nuclear strike jet can’t be refuelled by RAF
Since the RAF’s Voyager fleet lacks the boom-type system required by the F-35A, the aircraft cannot currently be refuelled by UK tankers and will rely on NATO aircraft.

It makes no mention of any promise by NATO not to admit new members. Odd, given it’s so very important to us.
