The BBC is indeed run by the government never watch it.

There was an arguement during the referendum about how many jobs there actually are then it transpired that the number of Scottish based workers was very low.

As for the weapons themselves, how many of the UKs nukes are based there? Is it all of them? I wonder where France, the US and Russia keep theirs?

Here's the cake slice of percentages.

Edit to say its a couple of years since that link 100bn in 2014 to a now more mindbogglingly 205bn

A price tag on safety I've mentioned the 5 cat B incidents now that isn't safety ..

I'd rather we spent that money on the people who are being kept away from the drugs they really need to keep them not only in good health but in some cases alive .
Its not the government who should have voted for it it should have been up to the people of this country in an ideal world which I know it isn't.
Out of curiosity Stupie would you press the button and kill millions of woman and children let's not also forget about the suffering in the aftermath of such an event ..
A kid here is no different from a kid anywhere else in the world .
I'm sure you'd also agree suffering is horrible to witness in anyone.

I must apologise Buc, im not sure my sarcasm was picked up on my post above. Just to be clear, I am 100% against nuclear weapons in general, weapon systems as a whole and any trident system in this country. They will never be used, which makes them a complete waste of public cash and the do not deter anyone mad enough to use them.

You're right Stupie. If some phukin retard called Mohammed is chasing after me wi an axe, I wanna know that May or Boris are standing there ready to press the button.

I wonder how much money is brought to the local economy from workers at Faslane. If trident went would it cripple the community?

The thing is it would be tough but I'm sure with money saved from getting rid of trident we can spend that vast sums on giving that area life and I'm sure plenty of it ..
Such a stunning place to live as well I'm sure the tourist industry would bring even more life as well as maybe introducing wildlife back into that area ..there's loads you can do .. Anyway removing trident doesn't happen overnight be at least 2 years thats plenty time time to
Get other businesses up and running
