Better Together and Radioactive

The machinations of the fiend Salmond and the continuing need to humiliate Nick Clegg have prompted Daveybloke to have a bit of a blather in the Torygraph about the need to retain Britain's independent, US-controlled weapons of mass destruction. Daveybloke blathered about the threat from Iran's nuclear deterrent, the existence of which is not entirely clear; and proclaimed his absolute belief in the North Korean boast that it has a long-range ballistic missile which can reach the USA, despite the fact that North Korea's verifiable achievements in the apocalyptic line have so far consisted mainly in blowing up mineshafts and inconveniencing fish in the Sea of Japan. One of the Deputy Conservatives' crumbs in the coalition agreement was that alternatives to Trident would be looked into, and the decision will not be made officially until 2016; but Daveybloke is not the sort of gentleman to let a little thing like a gentlemen's agreement stand in his way, particularly when he goes into one of his periodic fits of concern about the prospect of Scots losing their jobs.
