They say its going to cost £20 billion to replace our current feet of four Vanguard class ballistic missile subs by 2024. Some people say its a waste of money and should be used else were (health care, transport, broadband)
To put that figure into context, 'Big Brother’ I.D cards could costs us £20billion & next gen broadband could also cost £15-20 billion.
I support the UK's current stance on nuclear weapons & he's why.
Theorectically speaking if a WW3 were to occur, i'd sure want a plan B set in place. That plan being if this country was pushed to the absolute brink of collapse, with an opposing force surrounding us on all fronts (sea, land & air dominance) we could threaten their capital cities & key strategic locations with total destruction on a truly terrifying scale.
Now yes this sounds very hollywood but then im not talking about Iraq/Afgan 'conflicts'....Im talking about the kind of war that halts all economic concerns, the kind of war that makes a coutry pour all its man power & resources into creating a war machine, the kind of war that has the army knocking on your door for mandatory service.
When you look at it in that context you see the is UK is a very small island with limited resources immediatlely available to it.
I feel £20 billion every few decades (when compared with a plastic I.D card?) is a very small price to pay.
