Cohen confused
In today's rant Nick Cohen after arguing that worrying about planes is silly as we don't fight enemies with air forces anymore, he then turns tail and says:Take the Type 45 destroyers. The navy was determined to spend money on them rather than aircraft carriers, even though Britain needs carriers to provide a safe base for fighters in combat beyond the reach of suicide bombers.
Over at Aarowatch we've been trying to understand what he means. Can anyone help?
