From Reader George:

How do we know is was actually a malfunction? How does anyone know it wasn't launched secretly to help the globalist start a war? Who would know exactly where it came from? Would it be blamed on North Korea, China, Russia, or even ISIS? Perhaps the US military shot it down and were told to keep it a secret. Why else would a harmless glitch be kept top secret?
Trident fiasco 'covered up by No 10'

-----

No10 'cover up' of botched Trident missile test was 'stupid' and makes us look like North Korea, ex-navy chief blasts as Theresa May refuses FOUR TIMES to say if she knew of failed test

Malfunction occurred just weeks before key Commons vote on Trident renewal

But Downing Street imposed a 'news blackout' about the failed test last June

Lord West says decision not to disclose it was 'extraordinary' and 'bizarre'

Missile was fired from HMS Vengeance during test in June near coast of Florida

PM accused of omitting any reference to failed test and dodged questions today

Ministers will be forced to make urgent statement to Parliament tomorrow

A major malfunction in the UK's Trident nuclear missile deterrent was covered up by Downing Street, it was claimed last night

The former head of the Royal Navy blasted No10 today over its 'bizarre and stupid' decision to 'cover up' a major malfunction in the UK's Trident nuclear missile deterrent and said it made Britain look like North Korea.

It was claimed last night that Downing Street imposed a 'news blackout' about the failed test just weeks before a crucial Commons vote on the future of Britain's nuclear deterrent.

Today Theresa May refused four times to say if she knew about a major malfunction in the UK's Trident nuclear missile deterrent.

But Admiral Lord West, who led the Navy from 2002-2006 and later served as a security minister, said the decision not to admit the failed test was 'extraordinary'.

The PM is facing calls to 'come clean' about what she knew about the botched test by giving a statement to Parliament tomorrow. However it is more likely to be Defence Secretary Michael Fallon who will make the statement to MPs.

A Trident II D5 missile veered off course during a test last June near the coast of Florida last June, the Sunday Times reported.
