There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

BBC Reporting "Corbyn car ran over BBC guys foot".

When Hislop called out the bias a week or so ago it was amusing. Seeing stories like this appear makes it a little blatant. It's not rocket science to figure out how close the guy must have been standing for this to occur. I'm waiting for that to spiral in the next couple of days because it's obviously going to be touch and go about amputating the both legs by the time the usual rags have finished with it.

Wow, what a shame they don't give his policies such blanket coverage  :roll:

May ran over the entire nation's foot.  But that's different.

It felt more like a stab in the back to me. Slimy political animal.

Objection, it's closer to a stab in the face. It's not like she's ever pretended to be anything other than despicable.

I think her snide slap about people thinking of the Tories as the "Nasty Party" was an attempt to position herself on the more acceptable wing of that discussion. Sadly as soon as she got a sniff of power that was straight in the bin.

Now the BBC is asking if Corbyn is a pacifist. 

Never mind Theresa May affirming a first strike nuclear policy, and thus batshit insane.

I think she made moral imbecile Michael Fallon do the deed.  You know, the "really Christian" one (when he's not wolfing down free meals from the arms industry).

But anyway, yeah, Corbyn's a peacenik nutter, while May is a sober custodian of the nation.

So the prime minister is now a terrorist with a dirty bomb. The UK government is exactly what they've been warning us about for years. And here was me, the dumbass, thinking they were just making the shit up to freak us out.

I remember that. What's worse is that every other pm, including Thatcher, directed that there should be no retaliatory strikes in the event of a nuclear attack on the UK that resulted in a loss of command and control. Mainly because nuclear weapons are barbaric. Which leaves trident as an utterly pointless waste of resources.

Yes, what is the point of having a weapon which you can't use? [/notTrump]

As far as I can tell, trident serves the following purposes:

1 - Jobs in largely labour areas.(The main reason orbyn got so much grief from his own party is down to this)
2- Allows the UK to keep feeling important as a "nuclear power"
3 - Err, that's about it.

1 is a little silly as you could easily turn the workforce to other much more productive things at a fraction of the cost.

2 is pants on head retarded as there is nowhere on earth that you could justify deploying a nuclear strike at. Russia, China and North Korea are not awake at night in fear of 3 submarines. I would doubt that ISIS or similar even know about them and wouldn't give two shits about them either, even if they do. So who does it keep in line? Argentina? Pakistan? Iran? The EU? I'm seriously asking, what nation or group are they supposed to deter?
