If the British Government were a person, it would long ago have been sectioned and placed in a locked ward because of its severe delusions of grandeur. Last week, our Government's desire for futile violence against total strangers - and its wild generosity with money it does not have - met in the promise to make this country ready for war. War with whom and about what? We have no territorial quarrel with any country. In any case, nobody in modern Britain is remotely ready for war.
