Blunt Weapons

The Royal Navy was the mightiest that the world had ever seen, before nuclear weapons were even thought of. Now, though, we have only the nukes.

And half a billion pounds to create 600 jobs. Imagine if Jeremy Corbyn had suggested spending half a billion pounds to create 600 jobs.

Perhaps, in order to expose Trident "renewal" for the extremism that it is, Corbyn needs to espouse it?

Then again, fringe mavericks are not made Chairmen of Foreign Affairs Select Committees.

Crispin Blunt's public doubts about this batty scheme, like his strong support for the Palestinian cause, obviously indicate the private views of those of his partisans whose secret ballots, for so it now works, have put him where he is.
