Exactly who is deterred by trident but not by a nuclear cruise missile?
Any nuclear attack on this country is more likely to come in on ca container through Southampton Docks than on the tip of an ICMB
So if the PM is woken tomorrow to be told that Manchester has gone up in smoke exactly who is he going to nuke?
Iran?
Syria?
Lybia?
Cuba?
Israel?
Bhutan?
