But I am not a nimby about these matters. Freefall nuclear weapons were stored in Norfolk for some years near RAF Marham and I have no problem with nuclear warheads being stored here.<BR/><BR/>As for Scotland becoming a target, remember, the Soviet Union targetted Belgium, Portugal and Norway with Nuclear weapons, none of which are nuclear powers.Nich Starlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04237390959601973501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33696095.post-31672107791115111702007-06-15T09:03:00.000+01:002007-06-15T09:03:00.000+01:00Your assertion that the SNP opposes Trident merely...Your assertion that the SNP opposes Trident merely as a way of opposing Labour is absolutely wrong. The SNP have been long term opponents of both nuclear weapons and nuclear power. Scotland doesn't need nuclear weapons but it does need decent health, education, housing and transport systems and the savings from Trident would save that.<BR/><BR/>You're right - Scotland does share a border with a nuclear power which is perhaps a method of protection but also puts it in the line of fire.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08040609999717940606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33696095.post-74764951045948187412007-06-15T01:40:00.000+01:002007-06-15T01:40:00.000+01:00The only reason that we Lib Dems have a dammnable ...The only reason that we Lib Dems have a dammnable fudge policy on Trident is that the debate was held at Harrogate in the run up to a Scottish General elction and all out Council elections. This meant that many Fed Reps could not get down South to vote against this nonsense. <BR/><BR/>The Scottish party is 80/20 against any renewal of this waste of money.<BR/><BR/>If the English party is so in favour of it then you are welcome to it. I wonder if you would be so keen if it were based on the Wash?<BR/><BR/>http://anything-caron-can-do.blogspot.comIain Rubie Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11111220173557764530noreply@blogger.com
