Balanced Question Time panel tonight - of course not!
Discussion
Charlotte Church's rant about linking Syria to climate change was something special. Lots of um'ing and ar'ing with no facts. Sounded like she read some silly comment on twitter and tried to expand it into a fully qualified theory on live TV.
And at the end there was complete silence from the audience. You could almost see the tumble weed.

Portillo speaking sense on. Trident and stuff tonight.
I am not so sure. He never mentions that if we give up on our nuclear capability then we probably have to give up our seat on the UN security council. Thats a lot of influence lost.What I don't really understand about Trident (maybe someone can enlighten me?) is this:
We keep hearing that terrorists could develop a dirty bomb in a school science lab, it's a fairly well understood technology which has been around for a while. We have the rockets to deliver them. Do we actually need to maintain a full on nuclear deterrent all the time (which seems to be very expensive) in order to potentially defend against something which may never happen anyway?
It seems like something which made sense during the cold war when a dispute with the USSR could potentially escalate to a nuclear stand off in a few days a la the Cuban missile crisis, but not much sense now, when it's pretty inconceivable that we would be at war with any nuclear power.
At very worst it seems like relations with Russia might deteriorate to the point that armed conflict becomes a possibility, but this would still take a few years.
Is it possible technically to have a more flexible nuclear deterrent which is cheaper to maintain throughout the decades where it's not needed?
