I think the Socialists the Greens and the SNP have been fairly consistent in this respect.

I have been following this argument/debate for quite some time and feel that now is the right time to become involved by putting forward a qustion which goes right to the heart of the nuclear debate.

Hoot noise does a nuclear bomb make when deployed??

I believe the majority side with the traditional "BOOM" but there is a growing consensus who appear to be supporting the more modernist "WHAADOOOF"

Any thoughts???
I thank yow

At last a sensible question in this debate, and one that need answering. My guess is that its like the sound of an underground train going by, but much louder and not a as smelly.
OOH did they knock down McCaigs folly.....

Depends on where you stand in relation to the blast.

It is obvious that nucler weapons have a couple of drawbacks, but there are plusses as well. A mate of mine used to be a taxi driver in Dunoon and the Yanks used to be good tippers... It's an ill wind etc.

Some people die at 21 but aren't buried until they are 65.

trip to Faslane - cancelled

Postby Tom B » Mon Mar 05, 2007 8:18 am

Unfortunately while there was some support, there was not enough able to make the trip to Faslane tomorrow - so reluctantly this has had to be cancelled. However, look out for the vote on 14 March - and be sure to contact Alan Reid or any other Westminster MP using this link - http://www.scotland4peace.org/Binthebom ... okupmp.htm

Do we hire a bus tae take them there- a long long way to go
Tae gather an protest, tae face arrest, traffic tails, go go slow
Tae shout stand stamp stomp-tae mob moan mill an groan
Tae show you care an will fight the fight knowing well you have the right
Trident troubles, tender thoughts, tears tin tombs in tinsel town topple tyrants.

A skweelin worm- handy tae know
Lets you see- the head an the toe
Oh how the fish rate- such audible bait
Early birds grateful- in morning mist
To hear the worm- to them sheer bliss.

A skweelin worm- that no joke
Quiet the worm-until provoke
So remember me remember well
Welly boots hurt like hell
The soil you see- my only shell.
