New Labour, New Trident, New Viagra

The Labour party wants to renew trident because it’s scared that not doing so will make it look weak. This is a political not a military argument and it stinks of Michael Foot’s duffel coat. Trying too hard to distance yourself from past PR disasters is just as likely to create…a new PR disaster!

One day Labour wants to set a unilateral example to the world over carbon emissions policy, the next it has to prove it’s virility by supporting a crazy whacked out anachronistic weapons system from a cold war that’s been overtaken by global warming.

What’s the point of cutting carbon emissions if you’re still prepared to invoke a nuclear winter – lights on, nobody home.
