Remember the Bomb?

A long time ago people on the left and right argued endlessly about nuclear weapons and whether or not it made any difference if the UK had it or not.

This issue is now so much more relevant now that President Obama is now actively planning weapons reductions with his counterpart in Russia.

So where does that leave us?

Have we benefitted from having our self styled independent deterrent even though the ability to use in without approval of the US administration was non existent?

Should we seize this opportunity to dispose of our remaining missiles and save the expenditure on replacing the four Trident submarines with something that is more meaningful to our lives?
