2009 will be remembered most for the deep recession the UK and many other countries around the world had to endure. As a result the upcoming General Election has been dominated by just how much will need to be cut.
When deciding how much should be cut and from where, most of the political parties have missed one area that screams ”make cuts here”.
That area is not renewing the UK’s Trident Nuclear programe.With an ever-changing world and the wars that are fought, either using terrorist methods or hand to hand fighting, the UK does not need to build new nuclear weapons, infact both the Americans and Russia are now actively cutting their nuclear arsenals.
By not renewing the trident program the UK would be saving £97 billion pounds.
Senior military defence advisors have also indicated that there is no need for new Trident missiles and that the money would be better spent elsewhere.
They are correct, it could be used for schools, hospitals and a sustainable and renewable energy program that is environmentally friendly and healthy for everyone for generations to come.
So with the General Election just weeks away, be sure to tell your MP’s not waste £97 billion pounds on new Trident Nuclear Weapons.
