Oh bloody wonderful!!!

So the 'nasty party' are wanting us to renew 'Trident' nuclear missiles with the latest American deterrent, but have not the slightest idea how much that is going to cost us.

We already have a $4.5 Billion hole in our budget which Osborne has no idea how to fill, now we're being told that the renewal of 'Trident' will be an open-ended cheque.

Wasting the budget on warfare instead of education, medicine and care for the young, the elderly and the disabled.

Only in Britain!

Re: Oh bloody wonderful!!!

Really ..if you want decent political discussion you ought to try to be even-handed... and logical. Such linear thinking gets repetitive.

This government also spends how many billions on Foreign Aid and providing for refugees in Turkish camps?
Why don't you complain about that instead when griping about our own homegrown poor who are neglected?

And yet .... having backtracked and now saddled with a 4.4 billion gap to plug the critics (blinkered about Foreign aid but gleeful and crowing over the 'nasty party') then start banging their drum about 'wasteful' defence ... Trident.

One topic at a time that's how forums work, if you want to discuss foreign aid etc it's another topic title.

Re: Oh bloody wonderful!!!

Are you a mod now?

PS. Your new ruling didn't stop the OP referring to a recent, highly publicised 4.4 billion deficit in relation to Trident.

Me too ... like you, just an ordinary member.
If you don't like or can't answer the points I raise please don't lecture me on how you perceive a forum should be run.
That's not in the spirit of true discussion.
