We need to decide what we're doing...

So tomorrow our MPs decide on the future of Trident, our nuclear arms site which is hidden away in Loch Lomond in Scotland. Now that we’re leaving the EU, it’s more important than ever that we update our missile systems in response to any threat throughout the world; especially with Mr. Putin flexing his muscles over the European border. Of course there will be some hippy types saying that we’ve never had to use them; but we’ve never been more under threat and we really need to keep hold of our global power. But what we should be more concerned about is whether or not Scotland (who opposes the nukes on their soil) wants to leave the United Kingdom to re-join the EU. That will present even more complications and the whole site may have to be moved to another site which could potentially increase the cost. We need a long term solution for this when all our government plans are in place so that we don’t have to pay for this cost later.
