Protest at Faslane on 6 March -against £25b spend on Trident

[4th gen Suthen']

In these days of credit crunch and financial meltdown we are still spending the £25Billion on the Trident missile submarine fleet.

Was there not some panel of military experts recently stated that Trident was basically useless ?...a total waste of resources.

That money could be used to create proper jobs and pay for bridges, ferries and roads...windmills, tidal power plants, power stations etc etc etc...etc. Just think what stimulation that money would have, spent wisely in the UK economy.

I know the time for that debate is past...... but I wonder if they would have voted on 15th March 2009 the same way they voted on 15th March 2007.

Thought I would resurrect TomB's near 2 year old thread....

Absolutely have to agree. However although the money may come from central government, I see it as a Scottish question, and would happily change the UK perspective, to a Scottish one.

Crunch meltdown submarines. Have you got the third eye - 4th gen?

It does seem a huge waste of money when all they seem to do with the things is crash them into the seabed or into another submarine...
