How come we need nuclear weapons but Iran/North Korea dont?
I cant believe these people. How can they say it with a straight face that we need nuclear weapons to protect our country but we fight to stop others from getting them
There might be a silly hang up about democracy vs rogue states going on. I cant believe these people. How can they say it with a straight face that we need nuclear weapons to protect our country but we fight to stop others from getting them

What a misuse of the word trolling.
An opinion that differs from yours is not trolling. Its a genuine question. How can so many people on that panel and in the audience be in staunch support of us spending £100b on nuclear weapons when we are prepared to go to war to stop others from acquring them?
It seems like serious double standards. What would be our response if for instance Ghana, a stable democratic country in Africa decides it wants to acquire a nuclear deterent?

Quite enjoyed seeing that horrible wee woman Sturgeon being taken apart tonight.
Welcome to the real world. Loved the way Bannetyne said Sturgeon where do you keep plucking these numbers from? £100billion ? Yes and its over 35 years so an average of £2billion a year that's all. MOD budget is £35billion a year.
She tried to then give some tosh about the phasing might be 2.5-3billions in the 2020-2030's...
Its actually 0.3% of the UKs total budget.... Absolutely nothing.
Now those gold played and unfunded public sector pensions had an annual deficit of £12billion and forecast to hit £20billion in a couple of years. Now that's an area which needs to be understood and costed properly otherwise it gets our of control.

Because we have nuclear weapons because we really really don't want to use themAn opinion that differs from yours is not trolling. Its a genuine question.

Where as north korea wants nuclear weapons because they really really want to use them
I actually find it quite worrying that Eclassy needs that to be explained . 
Eclassy on a much smaller scale........do you think that as a happy carefree child, the child aspires in life to surround himself/herself and it's property with security products such as Burglar alarms, CCTV, Security fencing/gating and lighting etc.
Or do you think that as the happy and carefree child grows up, he/she suddenly realises that there are some right b
ds in this world that are prepared to take or try to destroy everything he /she has worked hard for. So much so he/she will decide to try and protect itself by any means possible form said bds by what ever cost ?
What world exactly do you live in ?

Wow. I actually thought you were on a wind up. How depressing to read that you were actually serious.An opinion that differs from yours is not trolling. Its a genuine question.

Why yes, I think it's despicable that the UK Govt isn't all that enamoured with Iran/NK wishing to have nuclear weapons. What with both states threatening to annihilate/wipe out other nations. I mean hey, what could go wrong?
I think I'll continue to think that you were trolling. It's probably for the best.

How do you know this? Maybe cause the press said so. NK have had nuclear weapons for a while now but havent used them yet. The good thing (for them) is that it looks like having it works well as a deterent as no one has thought it wise to try to invade them like other countries have been.Where as north korea wants nuclear weapons because they really really want to use them
It is just scaremongering that countries like Iran will use it when there is absolutely no evidence to show that they would. Iran hasnt invaded any countries in the last 15 years. We on the other hand have overtly and by proxy invaded and some may say destroyed countries like Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria. If you asked someone who woke up from a 30 year coma who is is more likely to use nuclear weapons based on recent history, I am sure you know what there answer would be
There is a non-proliferation treaty to stop others getting these deadly weapons, made those who had them to give them up but we go on and budget £100b to upgrade ours. Pardon my lack of knowledge but it just makes no sense to me.
Its a case of do as I say not as I do.
