Fop 1 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 You're saying dinnerjacket is brighter than Bush. Nuke them I say! The thing is it would be very, very difficult to get a nuclear weapon or nuclear material into the UK (impossible maybe), but get one into the English Channel, or off the coast? Much more likely. The fact is nuclear weapons as a genuine military option are almost obsolete - no country would use them pro-actively as they are a death wish. But using them in other more subvert ways is something I think we'll eventually see, much like 40 years ago islamic suicide bombers were practically unheard of. Frankly I'd always rather have a madman or a dim extremist in charge of a country than an intelligent person with an agenda and a plan. Dead easy mate - you just pack it in the middle of a monster pack of Stella cans and drive it over from Calais just before Christmas ina white Transit with a Liverpool FC sticker in the back window the UK doesn't have automatic sytems to check on radioactive materials in cars Maybe, of course then you've got to get into France etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
