Yes we should scrap trident.

For 100bn we could spend it on much better things such as scrapping tuition fees, having a fully-funded NHS, renationalising the railways and energy.. honestly this relic of the cold war is completely pointless as we're never going to use it. Chemical nuclear weapons are NOT defense.

Defence, you mean.

I agree. We could spend the money on something better. Sadly, as every dictator and madman in the world either has nuclear weapons or is striving for nuclear weapons, it would be foolhardly for us, a country which has already sustained terrorist attacks from all kinds of fanatical groups, to leave ourselves completely unarmed.

Once again, very well said. It's not a good thing that we need these types of weapons... but at the end of the day, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Getting rid of these weapons would just make us an even bigger target.

I wish that I had access to the very same 'Crystal Ball' which you lefties appear to have access to when you make such clinical definite statements as you all do.
