Trident: It's Official AWE Announcement - "No Decisions on any Refurbishment or Replacement are Required Currently"


This is something MPs Should Read before voting for (or more likely against if they do read it) Trident renewal tomorrow.

It is from the beautifully acronymed Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) themselves:

The current nuclear warhead design is expected to last into the 2020s and no decisions on any refurbishment or replacement are required currently.

The three paragraphs around this tell us the other decisions the government has just "made", by issuing a white paper for consultation, in Dec 2006.

Picture shows Luke test driving a Trident Missile. He was given the inset "safety" red button (and the Junior DIY lathe that goes with it) for his tenth birthday and has been dying to use it. He is given fat cheques by arms dealers every month to keep him mean and keen.

Dash it all!

Young Luke should get some colour into his cheeks. Preferably dark brown like that japester Cllr Bob provided for DC.

To avoid the incessant name calling and persecution to the point of suicide endured by stricken ginger-tressed folks worldwide. Mostly coming from lazy lying darkies I might add.

The crew cut does not hide either hair colour or freckles. Get blacked up! Fall out!!

Over and out.

They are talking about the warheads which they make. Just because no decisions on those are required does not negate the government argument that a decision is required on the submarines (and hence the principle of the whole package).

It is always exciting to open Luke Akehurst comments in my email. Which one will it be. As you know Luke this point of your is still guff this afternoon as it was this morning.

There is no need of a decision this month, this year, or this parliament, or this decade to keep the damned expensive, never-to-be-used, white elephants out of the living room.

Oh, btw this was the fake Luke Akehurst. The other one is witty.
