Typical Guardian-reader comments below the article. Bunch of bloody teachers and social workers.

Leaving the aside the rest of the Guardian standard bollox;

Britain leases its nuclear missiles from the US and its submarines creep across the Atlantic to pick them up from a base in Georgia.

Creeps, eh. How dramatic. Even the bloody Guardian can't be so thick as not to grasp the concept of "pooled" maintenance. I suppose rent-a-bomb has a certain catchy commercial ring to it, though.

The worrying thing is that intelligent and educated people read this drivel and believe it.
