Trident, Money Well Spent
I see that the Trident upgrade has been voted in by the Holier Than Thou Alliance of New Labour and Conservative. Gosh, it's great to have a democracy, we and the Yanks have spent billions on bringing democracy to Iraq. Yes, in a democracy your political representative can vote for bombs that can bomb the fuck out of anybody who needs to be deterred. I heard one New Labour mp saying that it was necessary because the Chinese and the Russians are building up their nuclear bomb capabilities. Worst still, they have embraced Capitalism as their economic operating system - so we must be singing from the same economic hymn sheet, aren't we?.
So why the fuck do we feel the need to possibly bomb out the Russians and the Chinese. The Russians are not a bad lot, they flog us cheap gas; the Chinese, likewise, the sell us lovely electrical goods. Our electricity bills would rocket if the Russians turn off the gas. As for the Chinese, we would be deprived of lovely electrical goods so that we will be soon be watching only one tv channel in monochrome on 405 lines were we to vex the Chinese enough.
Do you know something, we spend decades convincing the Chinese and Russians that Capitalism ain't such a bad thing; but don't you think that they are getting a little too cheeky of late? So, I guess the New Labour is right in thinking that if they got very cheeky, then we should start rattling our rockets at them.
Update: The Tories and New Labour voted together to agree to the upgrade - same policies - same parties.
