Absolutely agree
Watched some of the soundbites on the news with utter astonishment
"You're not fit to be PM unless you'd press the button"?!?! So unless you're prepared to kill millions of innocent people in an ultimately futile act of revenge you're not fit to be PM?
Might explain why all the ones I can remember have been shite.........
Oh Christ aye.
Burnham's mush was a peach. And quite a few of them actually. Now imagine Corbyn in parliament asking ' got this e mail from Alan in Penicuik and he asks 'Prime minister, would you ever be willing to press the button?''
What would Cameron say?
Anyway it's obvious to anyone even if we didn't have the things and someone launched an attack on us that country would be the next in line to be *nuked* from somewhere/anywhere, you know, just in case.
We wouldn't even have to be members of NATO and allow others to park their nukes when they want (which many non nuclear countries do), the things exist through sheer paranoia and sheer paranoia would be the driving force.
Oh, and if it got really bonkers and only one country was left after having annihilated the rest of us they'd soon expire anyway having no one left to export to and all that.
Maybe America and Russia can keep that other one brewing for us until they eventually realise it's all waste of time.
As I heard on r4 this morning, 'all bets would be off'.
It really is the first time I have heard nuclear weapons discussed in such a way, right down to the fact it ain't even a button really but a series of codes.
Infact probably the grimmest ten mins of radio I've sat down to.
