So I can sleep safe in the knowledge that my country can rain death and destruction on whomever it decides deserves it! Meanwhile, feral youth prowl our streets, our schools have descended into anarchy, and the exams the less delinquent pass are so dumbed down as to be valueless. We know that if the population were given the option to restore corporal punishment it would do so in a heartbeat. So we spend billions of pounds in the possession of a nuclear deterrent that we are probably never even going to consider using far less do so, but seem unwilling to spend a few thousand pounds on the purchase of canes which we could use to good effect. So in the meantime, we seem quite prepared for a wedding party in a foreign country to be vaporized by high explosives dropped from a drone, but are unwilling to make a boy or girl touch their toes, as this would contravene their human rights.
