Nuclear deterrent

Boris Johnson;

Just change the sign from "Do Not Press" to "Increase NHS funding".

I believe we need one, who agrees, and who doesn't?

We need one... getting rid would be as stupid as taking "no deal" off the table in the current Brexit scenario

Just don't ever give Comrade Jeremy the decision...

A lot of countries seem to do just fine without one ?

A farty little country like the UK with an effective navy of 6 ships, a tiny army and an airforce dependent on Yank technology has absolutely no need or possible use of a nuclear deterrent other than to keep colonel Blimps happy.
There is not one circumstance where we would deploy ours without the US and France deploying theirs. A complete waste of money.

One modern nuke can obliterate an entire city killing millions.

One.

A dozen can obliterate a country the size of France. You can strike a nation and kill millions, and that nation will respond by turning your nation into radioactive glass. It's a pretty good deterrant if you ask me, hence why no-one has been foolish enough to attack one of these "nuclear powers" since. Nagasaki's Fat Man was a pimple compared to the power of a Minuteman or Satan.

Clueless.

"A farty little country"?

No wonder you're a rabid remainer lol

Don't we rent them from the Yanks anyway? There are certainly questions about how truly independent the whole thing is.
