Jesus Was Right!

I don't suppose the young Gordon Brown went into politics so that one day he could stand up in front of an audience of money-men and announce that Britain needed to retain its independent nuclear deterrent.

I guess he thinks he needs to make these compromises in order to appear electable to the frightened mush-heads of Middle England.

But in the process he's turning himself into everything he once hated and despised.

There's a verse in the New Testament that explicitly addresses this situation; "For what shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world but lose his own soul?"

I entirely agree. This isn't about what the country or the world needs, or even about what makes strategic sense, but about what Brown thinks he needs to say to become prime minister.

I've always been a unilateralist. I want this country to stop strutting around as if it were still an imperial power and accept its status as a small European nation.

And how can we object to countries like Iran getting the bomb when we refuse to give up our own nukes?
