Jeremy Corbyn is on collision course with Labour MPs and trade unions for defiantly speaking at an anti-Trident rally and snubbing his party's pro-EU campaign.

Peter Hitchens, who writes for the “Mail on Sunday” and has a blog on the “Daily Mail” site, is not keen on Trident.
He thinks the problem with Trident is that its an American system being leased by the UK.
He would prefer that the UK have its own small nuclear deterrent under its own ownership.

Peter is quite a contrast to his late brother, Christopher, the atheist neocon supporting interventionist.
So, naturally, you support him, right?

Getting a break from the constant stream of pro-Cruz/anti-Trump articles, wasn't what I expected.
So I thought I'd do so mild chain-yanking in return.
Carry on, FRiend... you're a known long-time FReeper with good conservative credentials. We just happen to disagree on the best candidate for the GOP for this election.
He doesnt know what hes talking about then.
