spunk trumpet. thats not used enough. i shall steal it and use it three times by midday tommorow.

anyway, if knob features hadn't dribbled all over the topic, it might have made an amusing journey into the, errr.... friction on the issue within Labour and the wider labour movement.

so, the (UK) labour party leader thinks that UK nukes should be scrapped, but his partys policy is that they shouldn't. in Scotland the party policy is that they should be scrapped, but the the party leader thinks they shouldn't. meanwhile unite (scotland) (a union, for those whose eyes are glazing over..) has decided it wants the nukes scrapped, but those members of unite who work at the nukes base say otherwise. another UK union, the GMB, has slated Labour (Scotland) as having 'Alice in Wonderland politics'.

Labour (UK)'s shadow foreign and defence spokespeople have both said that tthe Labour (UK)'s leaders comments around nukes were 'unhelpful'. they think he's an idiot.

where is Spitting Image or Yes, Minister?
