Cameron facing ridicule after claiming North Korea could nuke the UK
Prime Minister David Cameron is today facing ridicule after claiming that North Korea had the capability of launching a nuclear attack against the UK. The PM made the surprise comments on a visit to Scotland in order to promote the renewal of the Trident Nuclear Weapons system that is housed on the Clyde.
Claiming as "fact" that the North Koreans could hit the UK with nuclear weapons, the PM said: "North Korea does now have missile technology that is able to reach, as they put it, the whole of the United States and if they are able to reach the whole of the United States they can reach Europe too. They can reach us too, so that is a real concern."
However the Prime Minister’s claim has been ridiculed by weapons experts who say that the North Koreans possess no such capability .... http://www.newsnetscotland.com
