The NHS is currently under attack from cyber-criminals - see http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/39901370Security analysts have been saying for years that the top-tier threats to UK security are 1. international terrorism, 2. cyber-criminality, and 3. pandemic, and the UK is painfully exposed to these real credible threats because all the serious money is being spent on a nuclear deterrent from the 1980's despite there no longer being a single state in the world with both the capability and intent to threaten the UK's territorial integrity.

QUOTE (je suis Charlie @ May 13 2017, 12:38 AM) And the thousands of jobs that would go with trident? Oh wait, Scotland, right, who cares! Must be getting on for 10,000 jobs in West Berkshire dependent on it.

Would you be happy for the state to prop-up 10,000 non-jobs in an anachronistic industry producing something as awful as nuclear weapons, or would you support local state investment in cyber-security, medical research, and anti-terrorism with a re-training programme to move that workforce over.

Your argument is void. This is not a binary choice; not one or the other. There is no mutual exclusivity; you could have both
