Is there something about the Tridents that is especially contentious? 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. I look forward to the day Scotland gets its independence and the rest England and Wales need to find somewhere to store them. 
Do I hear a coinpurse rattling? The UK's gonna buy a few bil worth of second hand weapons from us again, are they?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

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 naivety there really is quite astounding. I'd suggest the need is greater now than it ever was in the time of the cold war.

No we're going to lease them from America. Buying suggests that it's an independent deterrent and that we're not in anyway dependent on America's permission to use them. http://www.cnduk.org/images/stories/brie...liance.pdf Not only that, but it means that after making such a large investment, we need to stay subservient to the US and agree to whatever they ask in order to stay in their good books. So whatever country the US wants to invade for oil, the UK will be forced to help out. (July 19, 2016 at 6:00 am)Mathilda Wrote:(July 19, 2016 at 5:50 am)Rhythm Wrote: Do I hear a coinpurse rattling?

Better than having nothing at all.
