Hertsscot Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I don't agree with WMD, largely because they're WMD, but at least the price has gone down according to this email I got today: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hertsscot Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) Okay the aformentioned email didn't copy over. So in case you were wondering CND sent me this earlier today: "With a vote on Trident replacement expected later this year, it is vital that the Labour Party policy review hears from those who oppose spending more than £200 on a new generation of nuclear weapons. While the SNP, Plaid Cymru, Green and SDLP MPs are united in opposition to Trident, the Labour Party is deeply divided and the outcome of this review will be crucial to future policy."

Aye, if that's all it costs then I might get one myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russia, China, USA would destroy UK and with their firepower. Isis, where are they?

ErsatzThistle Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 A fecking killer of a speech from Tommy Sheppard today against the nukes. Watch it or read it on Hansard. As much as I like Angus Robertson who does a great job leading them at Westminster - Sheppard for me, really has got to be the next deputy leader of the party. He's on the same wavelength as the majority of the new post-referendum membership and it's important that they get a powerful voice at the top of the SNP now. Labour MPs Neil Coyle and Jamie Reed openly attacked Corbyn whilst making he was making his speech whilst John Woodcock was his usual vile self. Then Vernon Coaker got really quite unnecessarily nasty at the SNP today, red face, throbbing veins, finger pointing angry. A little disturbing if you watch it. Oh and Alberto Costa made a hilarious cameo appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDYER63 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I will repeat what i said a few days ago on another thread. A nuclear weapon is only a threat to the enemy if they think you will use it. Despite what Theresa May says there is nothing that convinces me this governernment would use it, that is probably the nicest compliment I could give the Tories. Its an abomination and complete waste of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunchy Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I will be honest up to a few years ago I was in the better to have than not camp but as I have started to question what we are told more and more I have slowly swung to the we don't need then now side. The way the media spin things to there own agenda and the establishment pushes us down the less I trust the media. Russia is still pushed as being the big bad guy but yet the biggest threats to us comes not from large superpowers but from terrorists. Even if a terrorist group somehow managed to get hold of and fire a nuke against us we would have no target to fire back at so where is the point. We would be far better giving our troops the kit to perform and not just the cheapest option and use them in better ways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
