shiltrum Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Trident isn't a disaster waiting to happen. It's been an ongoing disaster for decades. Now we have the 56 questions may well be asked in the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sons superhero Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 No doubt a pit stop to re-set the timers before going through Edinburgh via the by-pass. Just in case like, they could have used Milton Bridge as it is just next door. Why milton bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MassiveFanDan Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 This sailor who blew the whistle may have been privy to some short comings that need to be addressed he should have passed it up the line he might have got a promotion for being alert. He says that he did voice concerns to his superiors at the time, but was ignored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TapothehullDee Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Are the SNP for real, China, Russia etc has nuclear weapons, but they want the UK to give ours up.

Are they lunatics, why don't they ask the Russians or Chinese to give theirs up. Why hasn't China threatened Japan with nukes yet ? Seeing as they hate each other. Because absolutely no one wants to fire them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you can bet your bottom $ it will rise further. Labour are at 6 and 7 over this. I hear Corbyn will now not attend any Trident debate at Scottish Labours shindig in Perth, after saying he would. Unite are to oppose it so it may just go through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If England wants them then park them on the Thames ootside the Hooses o' Parliament. Scotland isn't independent. You don't get to choose who wants to go to war with you. However, is the argument here that we don't want nuclear weapons or that we just don't want them parked in Scotland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well aye, either a major accident or, remote as it may seem an actual nuclear strike on Britain, and next door isn't exactly far away from the fall out. beyond that, regardless of it's berthing I am (unfortunately) a UK tax payer, so some of my money is spent on that moral abomination as well.

NotThePars Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 it would be interesting to see how opinion on Trident would be different if it was based elsewhere. Not just from a Scottish nationalist perspective but across the country. I remember someone from Durham or somewhere on Question Time claiming she would have absolutely no issue with Trident being based there instead.

I remember that - wasn't her exact wording that she would happily have these WMDs installed "in her back garden" if the UK government wanted to do so?

Mr Bairn Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 About 53 million English people for a start. What a load of bollocks. Say you put Trident off the South Coast, you might piss off people in Portsmouth, but no one in Liverpool would care one way or the other. it would be interesting to see how opinion on Trident would be different if it was based elsewhere. Not just from a Scottish nationalist perspective but across the country. I remember someone from Durham or somewhere on Question Time claiming she would have absolutely no issue with Trident being based there instead. Plenty of people from Glasgow have no issue with where trident is. What about people from the borders who would be far closer to Trident if it was in Durham? How do they feel?
