I say privatise the lot. I am certain most real Conservatives would agree.

Why not delay a replacement decision until the current Trident system is exhausted (at least another 10 years), or buy a new Trident system in 20 years time when you have a better rationale for its use? Wouldn't the £20bn be better spent on hospitals, schools, soldiers even or tackling climate change?

Not very positive is it? We need some red white and blue old boy. You look like one of those horrid Nats. Would also like to see you going stronger on the benefits we get from union and that the Scots are heavily subsidised by us and doing rather well from it. Jim Silvey Derek,
