The whole point of them is to act as a deterrent is it not?
Why not just get rid of them but tell everyone we have renewed them.
Everybody wins.
My brother was a Royal Marine up there for years. Fleet protection they called it.
They spend their time playing pool, discussing the legal ways they could shoot Tommy Sheridan & bringing sheep in behind the wire, so the MOD Police have to walk miles round the perimeter fence looking for a hole that isn't there.
To be fair to the FM she's only there in support of Scotsman Andy .
I can also say she's got no time for that Westminster government. ..
I think the jobs total at faslane is 520 and quite a number come from over the border .
Not saying that jobs total if lost wouldn't be bad for the area. But I'm sure we could indeed use that area for cruise ships coming in also there's a huge amount of oil in that area we will be able to gain access to once trident has gone.
I'm hopeful that more work would indeed be created.
Here's a list of of B incidents A being millions of lives lost .
1 incident at faslane
2 at Devonport
1 in the middle of the Med.
1 off the coast of Norway.
But there's also been 100s of minor incidents.
We indeed do have enough Nuclear weapons to kill up to 320 million people you just don't target the enemy with that kind of power you kill murder millions of men women and children who have done nothing wrong ..
I believe France are thinking in getting rid of trident and they have more than we have in Scotland .

But in saying that I can also see why countries want to have them ..not that I agree with it.
Wouldn't surprise me if the government are just saying what they are doing in scare tactics they are world beaters at that.
I think North Korea are said to have only 10 .
Here's the list of numbers
USA. 7200.
Russia 7500.
Scotland 215.
France 300.
China 260.
India . 110-120.
Pakistan 120-130.
North Korea 10.
Most countries don't have look at how wealthy Norway are and they haven't got any either they can well afford .
A we Linky as regards jobs.
