Lord West: military diplomacy the Chris Morris way

It seems that Baron West of Spithead has spent too much time with his The Day Today box set during recess. Arguing against sharing an aircraft carrier with the garlic-eating French, the spirit of satirist Chris Morris seemed to assume control of the former security minister:

“Do you want to find British pilots bombing people for a French reason?”*

Thanks to Matthew Taylor for pointing out our attribution blooper.

*If you are unfamiliar with the work of Mr. Morris, say ten Our Fathers and five Hail Marys and then watch this.
