Trident is a good bit of kit but its over 10 years old i know Polaris was 20 to 30 years old but in this day and age we need to update weapons more often i know it will cost the tax payer millions of pound but it would save millions of life's with all the third would country developing ICBMs do we really have an option ?

We pretty much don't have a defense system as it is. If we did, then we wouldn't have been attacked on 9/11/01. Our government's response to 9/11/01 was not to punish the offenders and secure our borders but to punish US Citizens while aiding and abetting terrorists and their families. EG. Bin Laden's family was permitted to safely leave the USA while we hunted down Saddam Hussein's children and killed them all. How many bin Laden's have returned to the country to start up their terrorist support again? Why are illegal immigrants allowed to roam free and even protest by the thousands in our streets without government intervention? Illegal immigrants are invaders and their motives can't be trusted. They're working in our harbors, on our roads, at our food supplies, and in other sensitive areas, just like the effects of the Trojan Horse.
What the Hell are you going to do with a Trident Missile against Illegal Immigrants who will use American Citizens as shields?
Our money would be better spent arming our border patrol, placing National Guard at all our borders, armed to the gills with orders to shoot and kill invaders and with checking green cards and forcing all immigrants' rights marchers to submit to searches and weapons checks, rounding up all the illegals and children of illegals and returning their traitorous butts to their countries of origin where they can be dealt with for committing treason to their own country.
The real enemy is and has been right in our midst and is under the protection of the US Government. We need to change that first!

Tony Blair is on record as saying that the terror threats are mainly from small groups. If that is so why do we need a nuclear deterrent? Surely not even Blair would deploy nuclear weapons against small groups, and with no cold war who are they intended to deter?

Of course not - it's a total waste of money. The nuclear weapons the UK has could paralyse any country we launched them against, and everyone knows that we wouldn't use them anyway.
So why spend billions of pounds on newer, better, shinier weapons that everyone knows we wouldn't use anyway?

Why doesn't Britain make its own nuclear missiles and warheads? Do you not have the technology? Is that why you get the privilege of having American made nuclear weapons?
