As pointed out in parliament by the SNP last night, the government aren't actually revealing how much it will cost.

Quote:The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament puts the overall cost over the 30 years at £205bn. Reuters, in an analysis last year that was disputed by the MoD, put the cost at £167bn.

Explain how. What scenario is there where we would have to threaten to use nukes? And in that same scenario, why would the money be better spent on nukes and not the rest of the under equipped military?

You say that there is a greater need now than in the time of the cold war, but nukes are no use against terrorists.
