I'll write the theme tune
I'm not particularly interested in the Kamm/Hari/Cohen spats or any of the other left/ex-left/decent-left arguments which are mostly reheated rows that have been going on for donkey's years but I did see a link to Oliver Kamm's appearance on The Late Edition with Marcus Brigstocke over at
AW. I'd never seen Kamm on TV so I popped to YouTube to
take a look. The diminutive Kamm looked like Little Britain's Dennis Waterman and I half expected to see his little legs dangling from the chair.
He was invited on to discuss the renewal of Trident (played for laughs by Brigstocke, unfortunately) and argued that it was fine for 'us' to have WMDs because we were civilised whereas countries like Iran most certainly were not civilised. After all, as Kamm pointed out, "Iran has conducted systematic nuclear deception while being a signatory to the Non-proliferation Pact." Unlike Israel, which has conducted systematic nuclear denial while NOT being a signatory to the NPT.
