Some food for thought.

Yesterday I got a train into town, and to use a bit of time I had a cup of tea in the station cafe - cost £1.75. Whilst drinking it I looked at a parliamentry paper on the Dreadnought class SSBN.

The £2.2bn spent on maintaining the nuclear deterrent per year is roughly equivalent to £41m per week, or around £33 per person per year.

Makes you think...
