^what Kirk said.
Our country's defence is already depleated.Britain used to have the best navy in the world.In the Falklands in 1982 we apparently had access to 60 warships and frigates,Now we have 19 with only about 7 which will be deployable at one time.Our Army has been cut and will supposedly be down to 50,000 in the next four years.We need a nuclear deterent,Without it we will have hardly any political power on the world stage.Russia is modernising its military why the hell are we cutting ours?
While nuclear weapons exist,We need them.While there is a possiblity countries like Iran have them or are close to having them,We need them.While North Korea have them,We need them.While there is any slight chance a terrorist could possibly make one,We need them.
Our governments number one priority should be the protection and security of the British people.
I certainly don't want to live in a weak defenceless country.
Why should we have to rely on the US and France to defend us?Why not stand on our own two feet and take responsibility for our own defence.Why should other countries have to carry us?
