OK – just give me a moment to get this straight…
- The Cold War is now over and we’re on reasonable terms with the Russians and most of their eastern bloc colleagues. What’s more we have been for over a DECADE and the odds of previous hostilities resuming are longer than the odds of winning any state lottery (even ours!).
- Unilateral disarmament speeches (including from the current Labour cabinet and our “Prime Minister” himself) are a regular feature in the long-running farce that is UK politics for well over TWO decades.
- An overwhelming majority of people polled in pretty much every independent poll ever conducted on this issue are in favour of scrapping our nuclear “deterrent” entirely.
- A series of online petitions urging the government to scrap trident and champion the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, have been signed by thousands.
- The “Labour” party itself is – according to reports – split over the whole issue, with a record number of back-bench rebels likely to oppose Trident’s renewal. Even more significant is the resignation of Nigel Griffiths, the deputy of the commons over the issue.
- The cost of replacing trident has been conservatively estimated at well over £20billion over the next 15 years.
…and yet despite all this, the government is still planning to railroad through a vote in favour of renewing this colossal white elephant weapon of mass destruction.
