England is doomed
And deserves its fate. Four senior generals make a public call for ridding the United Kingdom of its strategic nuclear deterrent. They think Obama's multilateral (ha!) disarmament process has shown "promising developments".
Madness? This is England.
Serious concerns have also been raised by members of the services and defence analysts about the strategic value of nuclear weapons and their relevance to modern warfare. Indeed, three of us wrote to The Times on this subject in January 2009. These fundamental questions about how and against whom our nuclear weapons act as a deterrent must still be answered.
They have that last question right. If I had it in mind to do harm to the UK, I would laugh at the thought of British nuclear weapons. It isn't the bomb, it's the bottle.
