    What shape does that funding take (and no, I don't mean oval).

    Don't we get it all back, when they buy arms from us, though

    I read somewhere that the solution is to just put all the money from Trident into aiding the country, scrap Children In Need / Red Nose Day and replace them with Trident In Need, where the government appeals to the public for donations to build nuclear weapons.

    But oil use hasn't increased.

    And with that climate change agreement and most importantly air pollution issues in the BRIC countries it's not likely to.

    Given that French tanks have more reverse gears than forward and the quality of their cars, I'd be concerned about buying a nuke from them.


    If it managed to take off (and not just crumble at launch), it would probably go up with lots of vigour and flair, then turn around and come straight back down again.

    That makes me think about how brave he must be. I mean, utterly without fear. Which probably explains why he'd be happy to discard the nukes.

    His negotiating style could be pretty brutal, under those circumstances too.
