    Do we need Trident or nuclear weapons?

    And the attack when it came was essentially a variation on the von Schlieffen plan. I know its easy to be wise with hindsight but the attack was never going to be on the Maginot line it had to come through Belgium.

    quite right Britains defence failings were primarily of leadership rather than quality of equipment

    Do we need Trident or nuclear weapons?

    I would prefer none at all but if we have to have it I'd prefer to be with an older more sophisticated culture like the French than the USA. What I find quite scary at the moment is the huffing and puffing towards Iran one of if not the oldest human societies from a jumped up 300 year old nation...

    Psychology is great fun but it is essentially a human construct. Therefore it is not actually science though at times it may appear to use the scientific method.

    Britain's most evil man

    the nationality issue could rule out a lot of, if not most of our bad kings too, and we only had a brief Stuart/Tudor interlude before a new set of foreign monarchs arrived. The Tudors and Stuarts, [Elizabeth I exepted] were pretty useless as well.

    And, how can you use it against a terrorist cell, say in retaliation for a suitcase dirty bomb...would you bomb Mecca...no of course not they are useless as a deterrent against terrorism too.

    Do we need Trident or nuclear weapons?

    much of what you say is true but it ends up as dead or unproductive capital and is therefore ultimately very wasteful, ignoring any moral argument. BAe unions and staff carried out an excercise on alternatives as much of the argument on usefulness and morality applies to their products...

    Do we need Trident or nuclear weapons?

    The delivery systems seem to be the greatest cost; we have a very large quantity of plutonium and a simple A bomb is not to difficult even for 3rd world states to create.

    Do we need Trident or nuclear weapons?

    We have the technical skill and ingredients to rapidly re create one if we really needed one. Conventional weapons seem more than equal to a destructive task if the "road to Basra" is anything to go by. In principle I'd be much happier if the money was spent on hospitals, roads and on re newable...

    Airfares By passenger Weight.

    Thats not entirely fair as any and all air transport is about carrying weight if you reduce it to its most basic form. I can recall being herded into the centre of a Ryan Air jet flying from Zaragossa to Luton because of trim concerns and the plane was barely a third full

    MERCEDES 230GE G WAGON 1987 | eBay A ge230 which is a reasonable compromise between a thirsty 280ge and the slug like 300 diesel. Needs work in the usual places but recaros are rare and nice as is a working heater fan in a car of this vintage. Might be worth a punt as its not a fantasy price.
