Let's hope that he realises that we can't fund the V Boat replacement and the D5's bells and whistles from the core Defence Budget; certainly not the Navy one.
I listened to Any Questions on R4 last night.
BBC Radio 4 - Any Questions? The level of understanding over the Deterrent is depressing. A show of hands by the invited Oxon worthies had the majority preferring no Trident replacement with a slightly smaller number preferring none at all. Any Answers this afternoon, when the great unwashed had their say, was even more depressing.
PS.
Why can't I name an ICBM without advertising a bloody battery charger on a sodding big river?
