The foreign in tonight's debate
They cannot say that the Trident "deterrent" is a myth and its only possible use would be to blow up a mass of civilians in a fit of pique after getting whupped.
They cannot say that the EU is here to stay, and Britain is better in it than out of it, but that it will inevitably continue to erode UK sovereignty, since that is the purpose and function of a union.
They cannot say that the people want to abandon Afghans - to cut and run - but the people are short-sighted and mis-informed.
They cannot say that the UK is powerless to do anything of value on the world stage (e.g. in Africa or Asia) beyond humanitarian aid, much of which is siphoned off for personal and political benefit in the recipient countries.
The best they can do is call the other guy weak, lily-livered, vacillating and anti-British if they even hint at the truth.
