Ten billion pounds, that's the 'estimate' for replacing Britain's nuclear arsenal in fifteen years time. Ten billion pounds, an almost inconceivable sum of money for weapons of mass destruction while people like you and me struggle to get funding for Stonehenge, Silbury and other historical sites (and I won't even mention the social and environmental needs that amount of money could be used for). Enough is enough, there are more important things to spend our money on than letting our heritage crumble away (or letting it get blown up).
What would you do with ten billion pounds?
The Irainians are getting into deep shit at the moment because they wanna develop their own nuclear weapons.
We should sell trident to them for about 5 billion- they've got loads of cash. This will get them out of the shit with the UN and Junior George Bush won't get to play Gulf War IV or whatever number we're up to now.
What we should then do is pretend we've developed a new system by sending the boffins down to Tandy and purchasing a new red red button in a snazzy case for Tony to carry around. It just the same as having a picture of a rottweiller that says I LIVE HERE! next to your front door to scare the shite out of the jahovas and double glazing scallies...its a deterant
As for the Ten Billions - I'd put it into premium bonds
