Have you seen the types that win - I wouldn't say personality always has a lot to do with it.

Perhaps that's because IFS isn't a one trick pony. That's like saying there's only one version of maths!!

Clearly many people don't want to get rid of our nuclear weapons for obvious reasons and no Prime Minister should be allowed to make such a risky decision based on their own views.

Who are you or Corbyn to think you have the right to put everyone else at risk because of your own personal ideology - you don't have that right - no one does.

[Kizzy]

Why would not having a nuke put us at risk? Lot's of countries don't have nukes and they aren't living in fear...
We're at risk now aren't we? And we have a nuke, so what protection is that for us?

He can't impose anything, we are a democracy remember? Don't let yourself get carries away with the rhetoric.

Its simple. I haven't been brain washed into believing nuclear weapons are safe and it seems I'm not alone. In March, a global ban treaty negotiation started at the UN in New York with the intention to ban nuclear weapons in the whole world. That, imo is the only way we are going to feel safe.

Trident capabilities are completely dependant on the U.S. which ensures we remain tethered to Americas apron strings and with someone like Trump as potus, we should all be feeling concerned.

We have capabilities, we have certain know how but whilst Britain owns the submarines the weapon system is theirs. Its never been an independent nuclear deterrent and we could never fire that weapon without the supreme commander in Europe, who is American, giving us approval to do that.

Not many of us know this in the UK but its been widely broadcast in America. Trident made a massive nuclear missile launch mistake last January. A test that went off cause and was heading to the Florida coast. Fortunately that missile was unarmed but what if it was armed with a nuclear warhead with the intention of hitting some war torn country. Instead it veers off course and we accidentally kill millions on our side... Ooops! This was the first Trident missile fired in 4 years and the MOD made a statement saying, "Vengeance and her crew were successfully tested and certified"!!

We should all be aware that we have Łbillions invested in a missile that doesn't work properly.

Nato wouldn't allows us to get rid of it?

If we left Nato then we will be fighting this war on our own which we can't do

This myth that the Americans control Trident is bollocks.It's just a myth.
It doesn't run on GPS so the Americans can't turn it off and it doesn't use codes.
The only person who can authorise it's use is a UK Primeminister and the only people who can activate it are our submarine commanders.
We do share our missiles in a joint pool with the US but that's it.

And yes there was a misfire like can happen with all missile systems but it is still the most sophisticated weapons system there is,it doesn't happen often and is still one of the most reliable there is.

Indeed.
My nephew is a submariner on the Vanguard fleet of subs.
First job of a new PM is to write that little love note for the sub commanders.

Yeah and that's one thing that worried me about Corbyns interview on Marr.He refused to answer whether he'd give authorisation in those letters.

Good post. Such misfires clearly pose a much lower risk than ISIS or any other insane religious ideologies that may gain access to such weapons and pose a considerable threat at any given time in the future as well as other dictators such as North Korea. It's a ridiculous comparison.
