I think the Labour party voting in Corbyn was an attempt to steer away from the Labour party of years previous. I don't think the gamble has paid off and hope to God this idiot never gets into number 10.

Two things if I may. To hand the FI to Argentina would be an insult to everyone who fought in the 1982 conflict. I'm also sure that I read recently that there is only a microscopic percentage of islanders who want to be ruled by the Argies.

My second point is more worrying. Let's say judgement day came and we sent up a Trident missile or three that didn't have nuclear warheads on them. Everyone else's defense systems would react to the fact that Trident had been launched and we would end up getting vapourised by the real thing. A rather over simplistic analogy I know but you get the point.
