Trident Missile goes astray

Seems the Royal Navy can't even trust its own weapons systems!!!

HMS Vengeance, whilst just 20 miles from the Florida coast, launched a Trident missile intending that it should travel over 5000 miles to the South-East and crash into the sea off the African coast. Instead of which it headed West, straight for the American coast.

Perhaps it was lonely and was intending to return to its maker!!!

Re: Trident Missile goes astray

Hi

UJ, given your constant criticism of everything to do with the UK, and your previous post about the Russian Task Force sailing through the Channel and not stopping to pick you up. I have to ask why you do not just emigrate to to Russia.

Given your political past, and your posts about visiting the former USSR, they are bound to have a file on you and welcome you with open arms.

You are obviously unhappy here and your leaving would be a major saving for our NHS.

Better all round for everyone don't you think?

I see our local 'nasty party' member has yet again resorted to personal insult and has nothing useful to contribute.

Hi

Only once voted Tory in my life, and that was get rid of Blair.

I will vote Tory again if there is anyway it would help to stop Corbyn getting in.

The personal insults are yours UJ, not mine.

I have repeatedly said that I learnt my politics from Harold Wilson, a regular visitor to my parents house.

Both my father and Harold Wilson were awarded Honorary Degrees on the same day, presented by Lord Harewood.

A mistake was made that could have had catastrophic outcome, what is funny about that

I just googled 'Russian missile goes astray' but there were too many to list.
