Supporting Disarmament

Despite the ongoing existential threats from the likes of Argentina, Ecuador and Brussels, George Osborne's little orange fag is to hand in an essay next month on the subject of what, if anything, might replace our American nuclear deterrent. It was Trident, you will recall, which did such a wonderful job protecting us from Islamist terrorism and which memorably kept us from being forty-five minutes from doom at the hairy hands of Saddam Hussein. Back when they still showed some token interest in liberalism and democracy, the Liberal Democrats were more or less against a like-for-like replacement; however, as might be expected, the essay comes to no conclusions and is likely to argue that Britain can best support disarmament by remaining sufficiently armed to sustain the wog-bombing at something like present levels. This will save Britain's Head Boy the minor inconvenience of ignoring yet another piece of paper, and will save the Deputy Conservatives the all-too-familiar experience of having their collective head inserted down the Bullingdon Club's private lavatory.
