Blair to update UK Nuke force

[mnbvjifhgtge]

Tony Blair has told MPs it would be "unwise and dangerous" for the UK to give up its nuclear weapons.
The prime minister outlined plans to spend up to £20bn on a new generation of submarines for Trident missiles.

He said submarine numbers may be cut from four to three, while the number of nuclear warheads would be cut by 20%.

Mr Blair said although the Cold War had ended the UK needed nuclear weapons as no-one could be sure another nuclear threat would not emerge in the future.

I agree with it, i like his plans to cut the force down by one submarine and to remove full duty of searching the sea's constantly with at least one submarine at ALL times, which will also cut costs but could act as a ease for any terrorists.
