Anyone got a spare £20 Billion? I have an idea...

The UK Chancellor has stated that the cost for the Trident replacement, the UK's Nuclear Deterrent should be foot by the Ministry of Defence and not by the Govt Treasury as it has in the past.

The MOD had already been told it needs to slash costs and reduce its budget by 10 - 20%, and now needs to absorb the expected £20 Billion Trident replacement. Good job there's no conflicts going on at the moment

BBC News - Trident costs must come from MoD budget, Osborne says

Here's an idea, why not have a NATO Nuclear deterrent, after we only need the capability to destroy the planet a few times over. All the NATO countries pay their share, and we have a joint deterrant manned by NATO sailors.

I bet the US would be up for it, would save them a fortune as well! May have to keep the Greeks and Turks on separate submarines, but other than that, I think its a genius idea

Wow, that's quite scary.

The though of how much damage humans can do to the world is just worrying, at the end of the day it only takes one really messed up country with some really big bombs to go Boom accidently and we're all buggered.

down with anything Nuclear In my opinion.
World peace will never happen, but why anyone would want to kill millions of other people is beyond me, religion is no good reason, nor spite or envy.

But I agree, the pressure on the defenses is too much, if something were to happen, it could be a potential disaster. Worrying for us here in the Uk, probably under gaurd by a guy on a very high platform with a BB gun & slingshot.. =/
