Play the lottery as they plan to do in Italy. Sminki: Bloomberg.

Best way would be to pretend to upgrade Trident (good job there are no Russians reading this site) and use the billionssaved there so we could all have a good old knees up.

Perfect.

One day, when we unleash nuclear destruction upon one of our enemies, you will be glad we kept up the nuclear program.
There's nothing worse than being caught with your pants down when Johnny foreigner needs a damn good nuking

It's already cost Britain around £20bn in Iraq and Afghanistan. Ten times the amount to scrap student fees. Monies wasted on pointless wars given the sate of public finances. If they're sincere about reducing debt, they need to get things into perspective and start pulling the troops out as one of the main options.

Well good job I didnt spill the beans about the original Trident - which was a fake program - thats why the upgrade isnt real.

I think we still have a rusty Polaris somewhere or other .

And we could always fit a warhead onto a Tomahawk or Cruise missile.


Good job Ivan doesnt read this site.

I have often said that they should give the unemployed / sick / whatever free goes on the lottery each week.

They would have far more chance of winning a big prize and getting off benefits than the chances of any of the schemes that the government come up with helping them.

I used to be impressed that the Soviets had such a good nuclear umbrella, till I found out it was carried around London by a chap called Oleg, who used it to stab Polonium into peoples legs

We are sending young, fit, hard working people to fight in pointless wars, and paying them, and paying the unemployed/sick/lazy to do nothing at home. Surely this is back to front?

Whoops - looks like Ivan is already on to the Trident being non-existant ...


Specially upgraded Russian Akula class submarine has been caught trying to record the acoustic signature made by the Vanguard submarines that carry Trident nuclear missiles, according to senior Navy officers.

British submariners have also reported that they are experiencing the highest number of "contacts" with Russian submarines since 1987.

Should we just launch the Polaris as a warning that we shall not be nuclear blackmailed ?

Which country to target - Im torn between Finland and Chile - ...
