Rev. O'Lution to Jayfor

Typical Lib Dems… they never really have the balls to spark any really controversial reforms and very rarely do they promote any unique or inspiring policies – usually happy to cling to the spokes of the wagon driven by the most popular party of that week. In the case of the Trident being abandoned and not renewed again – well, here’s a bloody good example of Lib Dem pointlessness – Am I wrong in suggesting that the Trident campaign just got renewed? I’ll have look into this, but I’m pretty sure Blair renewed it during his war-frenzied leadership until 2020-something. So, this is hardly a pressing issue right now!

Besides, why the hell would we want to drop this form of defence in the current climate anyway? I realise that it costs a serious amount of money – but so did going to war with Iraq, which the government was prepared to do at the drop of an invisible WMD. I also realise that the cold war is over and we no longer have to stand back and watch Britain and Russia unzip their pants and show who has the biggest. But, firstly, if Ian Fleming has thought us anything, you can’t ever trust the Russians, and secondly, as you have rightly stated JJ, those crazy South Koreans have begun testing their weapons – something that we never proved in Iraq – and have basically declared that nuclear war is a very realistic possibility for them, even recently threatening an attack on the Korean peninsular. So, I’d suggest that the trident, for now at least, is probably a very handy devise to have in our defence. And when 2020 comes around - if the world hasn’t already been shook by then by a nuclear attack from the soon-to-be-blessed new leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-Un – we can reassess the situation.If Nick Clegg wants to defend his house against the mounting threats of nuclear war with a barricade of flowers then let him build that house in the middle of the ocean because one thing is for sure, I wouldn’t want my country of residence to be wiped off the map because it was run by a government who dismissed the need for defence – there’s a lot of crazy people out there ready to do a lot of crazy things.
