I believe it is strict political protocol not to discuss such delicate security/defence issues and always will be that way - regarded as top secret stuff. I view Trident in the same way as a huge proportion of the Scottish population - outmoded, unnecessary and massively expensive and I want to see it removed from Scottish soil sooner rather than later!! Look at the WW2 video footage of the horrific events in Hiroshima and Nagasaki and learn from it!! Some people have but IMO others have learned 'scooby doo' from such a blatant 'war crime' exacted on a civilian population!!! Visit the shrines in these cities and be humbled!! I'm not gonna bother exhausting the same old arguments re Trident renewal that were debated in Scottish referendum year 2014. It's a moral issue and the majority opinion in Scotland is still to rightly 'get rid' and give it back to the people who foisted this WMD on us in the 1st place - they never liked that idea of plonking it somewhere in the south of England and no surprise with that alarmed response from many English quarters!
