Life In The Faslane

Brown backs Trident replacement £10bn - £25bn.. - BBC report here.

Faslane

He was a hard-headed man
He was usually glum-Brown, but was anecdotally witty
Blair held him up and held him to ransom so he’d wallow in his own self pity
Each had a nasty reputation, it was a cruel feud
They said he was toothless, they said he would brood
They had one thing in common, they were no longer reds
Then he said. “Time to replace the old warheads !”
There’s still life in the Faslane
No vote. He’s sure they won’t mind…
