It’s rude to point
As Chris points out, Gordon Brown’s looking to put some steam in his strides and the increasingly desperate Chancellor reckons a rocket in his pocket just might make people pleased to see him.
“In an insecure world we must and we will always have the strength to take all necessary long term decisions to ensure both stability and security,” said Gordon, leaving us in no doubt of the size of his manhood. But once Gordon’s got himself in the mood and it’s all systems go, who will be treated to his amorous attentions?
Difficult to say. This is from Parliamentary written answers, May 24 2006:
Norman Baker (Lewes, Liberal Democrat): To ask the Secretary of State for Defence against which countries the UK nuclear deterrent has been targeted since the demise of the Soviet Union.
Des Browne (Secretary of State, Ministry of Defence): Since May 1994, the UK’s nuclear missiles have not been targeted at any country.
Not having a regular squeeze maybe Gordon’ll just jump out and expose himself to random passers-by like a provincial town flasher.
It seems however, in this regard at least, the Government has remembered its manners: it’s rude to point.

[...] For a government that has made it a top priority to scare us all shitless about international terrorism, this stuff is pretty rich. I’m not the first, and certainly won’t be the last, to ask where and at whom these missiles would be targeted, but it’s a question that needs answering. It is, indeed, not a new question and one that has hung over the Trident system since it came into being back in 1994, as Justin points out via this Parliamentary written answer from May this year: “Norman Baker (Lewes, Liberal Democrat): To ask the Secretary of State for Defence against which countries the UK nuclear deterrent has been targeted since the demise of the Soviet Union. Des Browne (Secretary of State, Ministry of Defence): Since May 1994, the UK’s nuclear missiles have not been targeted at any country.” [...]
I’d just like to make clear that the l33t5p34k in the pingback there was merely a working title, not really intended for publication…
