Trident Debate
In your April edition Mr Stirling of Helensburgh compares possession of Trident to the necessity of a law-keeping policeman’s truncheon.
Does he not find it odd that of the earth’s 196 countries, only nine (to the best of our knowledge) find this weapon of mass annihilation necessary to guarantee security? And if, to correct an amazing deficit, those truncheons were globally on sale, most countries would define and prioritise ‘security’ in such terms as health, social services, education and the eradication of poverty.
