Liberal Burblings

If you want to erupt with outrage today, read this from Simon Heffer. Basically, he’s saying that the whole overseas aid budget should be cancelled and diverted instead to pay for Trident. In doing so, he highlights the outrage of right wing Tories at George Osborne’s demand to pay for Trident out of the defence budget.

So, the world will be a better place, and the UK will be more respected, if we abandon all attempts to help poor nations and, instead, spend money on an astronomically expensive nuclear weapon which will never be used. All because tinpot countries like North Korea are making noises.

Brilliant.
