Fun to imagine
Fun to imagine the wording. I do need a laugh currently."BORIS Johnson's first job as PM today will be to decide what will happen if Britain is wiped out in a nuclear strike.Within minutes of taking over from Theresa May, the new Prime Minister must write a letter to Britain's nuclear submarine chiefs - known as the "letter of last resort".It will tell them what they should do in the event of a nuclear strike which destroys the country's leadership.The note will be copied to each of the four subs, and stashed in a secret spot, only to be opened in the event of an attack.Before writing the letter, Boris will be briefed by the chief of the defence staff on the precise implications of a nuclear war.Every Prime Minister is said to have been daunted by the immense responsibility of drawing up the instructions.This time around, the stakes are even higher with tensions being sky-high in the Gulf." (The Sun)Hopefully his notes will be so full of classical language and allusions, and strange burbling, that the commanders will deep-six the notes and make their own courses towards somewhere that is not glowing.
