Is the pandemic not enough? Do we really need more chances to kill ourselves? It is not just our Government I know, but do we really want this?
What about "the magic money tree" is this a good use of its fruit?

While the Government has not really given a reason why we need extra warheads, I think they said that we have to be friends with China but at the same time China might not be friends with us, or something.

We certainly havn’t got the equipment or personnel to fight a conventional war so I guess more nukes make up the difference. In a major confrontation those carriers wouldn’t last a day against missiles, they’re useful for bullying small nations that can’t fight back, that’s all, they could be used for disaster relief but it’s an expensive way of doing it.

Well Dominic Raab says we don't have to bother about human rights anymore so I suppose we'll just be nuking all the people Boris doesn't like.
