If we are going to have to fund Trident/Trident replacement from the defence budget then I have a simple solution.
Scrap Trident and don't replace it!
We can't have an independent nuclear deterrent without substantial,effective conventional forces.
Balanced forces and balance defensive measures?
The UK is not a world player and does anyone really think having a nuclear deterrent will actually deter fanatical rogue states and terrorist groups?
I don't think so.
Scrap Trident - we really cannot afford it now after the Chancellor's comments yesterday.
