As a young, impressionable lad, I used to be anti-nukes and anti-war. Now, I simply admit that countries will never give up their nuclear defenses. Okay then, how does the UK defend itself?Well, it could place a bunch of missile silos in certain secret locations, around the country. The deterent is ready. Great. Actually, they're not happy.
They have been talking about 'renewing the Trident defense system', for over a year now. The old ones've gotta go. Problem, the new ones (three to be exact) cost 70 billion quid. What's so special about Trident? Well, it's the delivery system.
It's a F^^**Iking SUBMARINE!

Now, what possible use could a submersible
-that could crash*, blow up, leak all over the place-
have that a silo can't?
Delivery to your door!**
One day in the near future:
Hello. British Navy, here.
We've got a delivery for you,
Mr. Ahmedinejad.
Mr. A: I no want.
BN: It's a pizzaaaaa.
Mr.A: Sok-et. Fak-off. No want!

Why don't you just tell the British public,
you want to use nukes to threaten
countries you don't like.
No harm done, so far.
