The nuke grandstanding by the UK is pointless, expensive and dangerous.

Many countries in Europe don't have nukes and get by fine.

The Americans have enough for everybody and they won't let some dictator (Iran) launch anything.

Scotland moreover becomes a target for nutters. How many nukes are pointed at Sweden or Iceland?
if a nuke is in Scotland and property of the present UK Govt, then after independance, it should go to Scotland, as the division of military items was done in the break up of the USSR......that said, though, nuking England, immoral, would also be problematic as it would affect Scotland too.......I too am no peacenik, but it may act as a deterrant, possibly and in the end, Scotland deserves their share of the military equipment that it paid for......rarely, if ever would nukes be used morally, definately not on civilian centers....

2 of the so called democracies have WMD's and one has even used them in anger....we dont see the UN doing much about that do we.
True, the Japanese were trying to surrender for days prior to Hiroshima, Truman wanted to show off his muscle to the Soviets and hence, ka-boom......

It was immoral.

Well, more pandas than Tory M.P.s, to be a bit pedantic. Plus, the pandas are much more cute.
