I don't think us having nukes is necessary, desirable or moral, from what (little) I know about it.
Patrols only started in 1994. Now we're going to spend 205 billion UKP to replace it.
Think what that 205 billion could do if it was invested in research and education. But no, we'll spend it on a useless weapon of mass destruction because it helps some politicians in Westminster wave their cocks around and feel better about their jobs.
Quote:I look forward to the day Scotland gets its independence and the rest England and Wales need to find somewhere to store them.There'll probably be some agreement and money will flow from A to B to keep them where they are? Keeping nukes in different countries has a long tradition.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
