General Election 2017

[Neville's Breakfast]

If we fire a nuclear weapon first would be utterly screwed - how Many warheads do Russia have for example?

If we have the ability and will to defend ourselves then aggressors are less likely to take the chance. This debate has reminded me of the reasons that JC is an inappropriate leader of the Labour Party.

 

[lawros left foot]

I guess if the EU talks go badly we can just Nuke the French

They've still got nukes,as well

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Why on earth is Trident such a debate?

You live on the basis/agreement that no one will fire.

If anyone decides to press the button then you're all ****ed anyway. Doesn't matter if you have a 'deterrent' or not.

 

[TSB]

It will be shortly once Brexit is concluded

At least manners & chivalry will improve.

The far more likely threat is either a dirty bomb made from old radioactive waste or a dodgy Russian selling a suitcase bomb to Islamist nutters. Trident would be no use against either of these.

Oh, and about 7000

I think it is highly unlikely, but as a possible future leader of a nation with that capability, you DO NOT rule it out.

I would prefer we ruled it out, I don't want to be like North Korea

 

[vegster]

Did EVERYONE die in Japan? No.

Think about a car made in 1945 and think about a car built in 2010... then think about a bomb made in 1945 and where we are now.

 

[Scotchegg]

If I was corbyn I'd have answered that I'd press the button and nuke this ****ing audience.

Which is maybe just one of the reasons why I'm not running for pm I guess.

Exactly, once they start getting fired we're are all doomed

This has ended 1-1, wished Monarch May has agreed to a proper match

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

And if diplomacy doesn't work, then JC struggles.

If diplomacy fails we all suffer. It has moved on from 'would you make a pre-emptive strike' (answer: obviously only a mad count like Trump or Boris would do that) to 'if someone drops a big nuke on Sussex and wipes out 1.5 million people will you retaliate?' (answer: who gives a **** - we'd all be dead).

Strong and stable.

 

[Ron Manager]

Whoop whoop. Did the lefties have clackers too?

 

[wellquickwoody]

A QUARTER, 25% of the whole budget written off against student debt!

Go on lefties, defend it, cos if it happens I really do not care anymore. You will have made your own bed etc etc......

Lol - but if we fired first we would be fine.

 

[tinycowboy]

Absolutely. Totally trivial. We should all just ignore 'em.

Are you being sarcastic? If so, are you implying that the choice is to either be obsessed by nuclear weapons or ignoring them? Can't we find a middle ground, or does everything have to be extreme?

Audience: How dare you not condemn the IRA killers!

Audience: How dare you not be prepared to kill millions of people!

Bloody BBC and their rigged lefty audiences!

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Lol. Nuclear threat. Is this the 50's again?

Russia, North Korea, potentially Pakistan in the future. Sticking our heads in the sand won't protect us. The world is not filled with nice gentlemen like JC.

 

[Steve.S]

I take it JC did not win tonight.
