I'm beginning to think that the Lib Dems might actually become the official Opposition! What a strange place we are in.

What on Earth must the moderate Labour MPs think about all of this? They should have split from Labour while they had the chance and called themselves something with 'Labour' in the title to distinguish themselves from this dreadful rabble.

Unless they do this right now, while they are putting their names forward for re-election, I really do wonder if that party is finished. They will be decimated on June 8th unless something totally unexpected happens.

How would pressing the button save us? Perhaps if we didn't blindly follow America into whatever foreign whim they feel like a tiny island of western Europe wouldn't be a target at all. I'm very much with that episode of yes prime minister when he said he wouldn't press the button if the Russian tanks were rolling up downing street.

Personally i would prefer a leader who would at least think of pushing the button if it was needed. Labour would just role over and give in by the sounds of it.

Well, faced with an imminent nuclear attack, which was the question put by Piers Morgan, how wouldn't it? Delay = annihilation.

Anyway, the fundamental reason for having nukes, which the likes of Corbyn don't seem to understand, is to prevent a nuclear attack. By telling everyone that although we have this arsenal we will never use it, this is tantamount to actually inviting an attack on this country.

Simple logic, really.

The supplementary question is, if you won't use them, will you get rid of them?

Not simply enough for some people evidently.

Why get rid of them if it keeps you safe from a nuclear attack? Am I missing something here?

They're under strong medication and in a rubber room. :D

Because the whole world now knows a Corbyn led government won't use them. Therefore, they are useless as a threat. So, to his thinking, they could be disposed of.


Corbyn is a dangerous person to have in charge.

Indeed. :tu:

Apparently Dianne Abbot has Corbyn's full support. So that's all right then. :D

Doomed.

It just shows the extent to which our Jeremy's judgement is hopelessly deranged.

He is not deranged. He's back in the late 60s/70s with his thinking. The Woodstock philosophy was a delusion; most people get that now but Jeremy doesn't. We are now in the period where, at sometime in the future, it's not a case of if Nuclear weapons will be used, but when.

Blimey, passingbat, are you depressed today? What a thought!

Just as well we will soon have a strong and stable woman in charge. :D

Not at all; just saying what I believe is the truth.
