Theresa May - Not up to the Job of PM?

[SocketRocket]

Painted into a corner eh.
Can you then explain how the audience then gave a such good cheer to the young woman who called out the swivel eyed bombing loons who wanted Corbyn to use first strike and who were scared witless that the UK was going to be nuked by North Korea and Iran

It wasnt the first strike question, I think every one agrees we dont want that, it was the refusal to say if he would use them if attacked. If he wont then how can he lead a party who believes we should.

Quite alarmed by the portion of our public that are seemingly eager to nuke millions of innocent people. Thought we were a better country than that.

So if someone like North Korea were to hit us with a nuclear weapon we should start negotiations with them.

No that wasn't said, if they did that we'd respond, he wouldn't nuke them first, that's all that was established.

They cant reach us from a land launch and we cant reach them, if they sneaked a submarine in to lauch one at us we'd not know where the attack was from in an instant to respond unless Kim Jong Un said so, we'd probably be looking at Russia first, ISIS would probably claim it too! Then we'd have to mobilise our 4 subs to get over in launch range of Korea which would take a week or more probably. We'd be asking the Yanks to nuke them for us as they'll have strike subs or ships in the area no doubt and by that time it'll have kicked off everywhere = armageddon.

There's 190 odd countries in the world that successfully manage without nuclear weapons. I'd rather see us part of that group.

Christ on a bike, is the election now a competition over who will be most likely to launch a nuclear strike. Hey, the public services are chronically underfunded, the country is becoming more divided and we are kissing goodbye to the largest trading bloc in the world. But at least we can trigger likely global nuclear armageddon. Making Britain great again.....

That's all gross exaggeration, seems rather the norm from you now. Kissing goodbye to the largest trading block! So you are suggesting we will do no more trade with the EU are you, do you really think that's going to happen? Public services are receiving more money overall now than they ever have. I have to agree people like you are creating divisions rather than getting behind the democratically agreed decision to leave the EU you are continuing to act like truculent children who have lost their dummies. I don't think Christ ever rode a bike and did anyone suggest the election was 'ALL ABOUT' launching a nuclear strike. Like I said 'gross exaggeration'

That is poor sound bite politicking. The royal we should debate every aspect of the machine that is the management of our country. Petty point scoring by saying we shouldn't discuss the bomb is actually dangerous.

In in terms of inflationary rises the NHS and education is worse off than under Labour but the deficit has been reduced by £110bn...choose your politics.... For me, invest in education will, in the longer term, bring down the deficit b having intelligent people run the country. But that wouldn't have satisfied the short term need 7 years ago.

Is now the right to increase spending? For god's sake yes! We have to improve social care. We have to improve the NHS and education. But is the Labour's splurge the right answer? Not for me, but neither is a continuation of Tory rule... can we have Sturgeon as PM but without the independence rubbish?

View expressed by a commentator in The Scotsman this weekend that I can go along with.

Theresa May is awkward and skirts around the edges of weird

Though this isn't a JC thread, I've not noticed that NK have - or will have anytime soon (before the next election in 2022) - a ballistic missile that can carry a nuclear warhead with a range that would put the UK under threat, or indeed the geo-political developments that would result in NK seeking to attack UK and self-destruct.

And I'm also not sure which other nation might have, or develop, such a weapon before 2022 and actually find itself so out-of-kilter with the UK that it would carry out a first strike attack against us.

Begs the obvious question that no one replies to.......how would we know it was from North Korea?

It would have been aimed at America, but hit us by accident.

Or aimed at North Korea by the Americans and hit us by accident....

How about an honest answer.......big hole in the centre of London millions killed......how do we know who put it there so we can retaliate.

It will have been tracked from a long way out and most likely attempts will have been made to intercept it either immediately following launch or exoatmospherically.

a] If it was missile launched who is to say that it was not a Ruskies sub close to the North Korean coast.
b] What happens if it is not a missile launched strike. eg Container shipment to Liverpool.
