You can't build a defence policy around the needs of a private company. BAe should be encouraged to produce something we do need. Anyway I thought Typhoon/Eurofighter was a separate company, based in Munich. I know, but we don’t need it. You can’t build a defence policy around the needs of a private company.

That'll close down BAe at Warton and cause massive unemployment on the Fylde coast. Scrap the Eurofighter? That’ll close down BAe at Warton and cause massive unemployment on the Fylde coast.

We could bulldoze the pollitts house and stick a silo there;make them live at the bottom of it, lol. Identify all scrounger families in the UK,terminate all their benefits, the money goes towards opening brothels managed by the state,(like Holland) which would produce an income for more trident or sunsidies to reduce the price of petrol or alcohol etc. and everyone is happy, lol We should INCREASE Trident,we should buy retired MX ICBMS from the USA and build silos where scroungers live.

I'm looking forward to tonight's programme, sadly the foreign policies of all three parties don't fill me with excitement especially as regards the ring fencing of aid. I've lived in Mozambque and Zimbabwe and am no fan of aid, trade for processed goods works but aid is like pouring water through a pipe with lots of leaks and ends up with the poor of this country subsidizing the rich of Africa. On the defence front Gordon Brown has one ace up his sleeves and that is the building of the two Queen Elizabeth aircraft carriers where as the Tories still haven't confirmed their build although have made some approving noises.

Scrapping the Eurofighter, fine, but Trident is the ultimate deterrent and I certainly wouldn't be happy living here if nuclear sabre rattling was undeterred by having our own weapons system. I'm just doing a breakdown of the manifesto so readers don't have to plough through 100 odd pages of it.. The reaction to a change of events you describe is a U-turn :-P

It would have been better had they not been paid into his private account, but the cheques were personally made out to him. Both Clegg and the Lib Dems have amply demonstrated that "all is above board". I don't see how Clegg has done a U-turn on Afghani policy, he has purely reacted to a change in events and circumstances - surely a good attribute in a leader? I'm not quite sure how Cameron can "humiliate" Clegg on Trident. Our policy is, I believe the sensible one - one backed up by an increasing number of Generals. And what commitment to scrapping the £ and joining the euro are you referring to??? For anyone interested, our policies are available to view on our website libdems.org.uk we are still the only Party to have a properly costed manifesto. Having said all that!!!! It really is all gravy isn't it? The massive surge in support for the Lib Dems will not be swayed by right wing blogs/press/media, if anything, the continued personal attacks on Clegg will only shore up the support he is recieving. The best thing the right could have done was to do what they have done for the past 70 years and just ignored us! The donations he recieved were perfectly legal, above board, recorded and registered.
