Now if anyone can't make this meeting...
Tonight Lindsay Hoyle is hosting a briefing enticingly titled: "Britain's independent nuclear deterrent - the need and legality." Now if like me you are either a) not important enough to attend or b) not free (I qualify under both criteria), please permit me to surmise:
"because we, in Britain, have a moral superiority to others (particularly Moslems). It is ok because we are good guys (no, really) and won't use them on anyone apart from bad guys (Moslems - unless the Commies come back again). Also, we must ensure no other countries (apart from Israel) can develop nuclear weapons, but if we (the civilised West) can make a buck or two out of flogging intelligence and capability improvement means we should proceed without any form of responsibility (India and Pakistan)"
