Trident nuclear deterrent

IMO we should keep it, with countries like iran, north korea & good old russia we need it yes it's going cost a lot but the world at the moment is not a safe place at all

I don't like nuclear anything, but I don't see that we really have any choice but to keep it.

we should be in a position to fire back the same if we ever was hit by anything doesn't matter if the country is in money trouble IMO

also i think the country should of put money aside to pay for it every year

who ever voted get rid tell us your reason

grrrr i hate it poll voting for thing without posting, do you think we would be the country we are without it?

we would be county like new zealand with nuclear deterrent we have a little say in the world!! without it we are nothing just remember that

I voted keep it. Hate war, hate nuclear weapons, hate all of those things, but it'd put us in a vulnerable position if we didn't have it. Ideally I'd like if no-one had any nuclear weapons because people are capable of using the thing that separates us from animals, complex reasoning and communication, to work things out rather than making bombs and/or going to war. But we're not quite there yet.

Sadly I think these things must be kept as it would show weakness not to have them. I have a feeling they (in general) will eventually be the end of us all some day.

I voted to keep , it's the only way a deterrent can work
