We're talking about Trident SLBMs right (D-5s)?

Er... the nuke things. I don't know about the letters and numbers because I'm not obsessed with things that are designed kill a lot of people.


Well, you are obsessed with politics.

and I thought this thread was going to be about gum.  Sad

Isn't trident good for your teeth? What would the British want with that?

Tongue

Didn't you read the post?  That's why they are thinking of getting rid of it.

Well two Scottish M.P's have resigned from the government over this so...

I know only the basics of British politics, so can you explain why this is such an issue for the Scots in particular?

Is it simply because it's located there?

So what exactly happened here?  I didn't quite get the resolution.

Did Britain ban chewing gum once and for all?

No, apparently the Scottish and a lot of Labour MPs wanted it banned but enough Conservatives sided with Labour to keep it.  This should be a surprise to no one, since it is common knowledge that the Tories are a shill of the Chewing Gum Industry.
