PM Urged To Spell Out New Nuke Deterrent Fund

Trident System cost: £ 34 billion

6:44am UK, Friday August 27, 2010

Something must be wrong here. So we are told to cut jobs, pensions, welfare, housing, schools renovations, etc However we are prepared to spend £ 34 billion on nuclear weapons ? It must be a joke ! Do we need missiles which has the destructive capability to return the modern world to the Middle Ages ? No, it is disproportioned, there is no big enemy like the former Soviet Union anymore. Perhaps it is time to discuss within the EU a joint nuclear defence system that would have the costs shared among all members countries. Also we need to stop relying on US supplies of technology and defence services. The Trident warheads are made in US, and all missiles are also serviced there. The current generation of four submarines would begin to end their working lives some time in the 2020s. Why rush on this when there is time to find an cheaper and effective alternative within our borders ? As usual, Tories wrong priorities.

Moving Forward

More than 24 million people today are better aware of our chaotic financial system. It is time for you to learn how the system works. Predictable is the outcome, isn't it ? Mais de 24 milhões de pessoas hoje têm consciência do nosso sistema financeiro caótico. O atual modelo de capitalismo é asfixiante, autodestrutivo e principalmente injusto. O sistema só se mantém vivo enquanto houver recursos naturais do planeta para consumir até a exaustão. O documentário expõe com muita clareza o que nos aguarda.

David Cameron Arrives In Afghanistan For First Visit As Prime Minister

Friday June 11, 2010 Well, it seems that money for war is not an issue for a government that says it needs to tackle the deficit. Let’s cut public services, sack people, put more people in poverty due to welfare cuts, etc. Let’s spend these savings on war. It is really pathetic this new government. What else we could expect form a right wing party ?

David Cameron And George Osborne Launch Website To Ask Public For Spending Cuts Ideas

9/7/2010 12:13 PM BST It is really hilarious to see how low the Thatcherism has reached. After jeopardising any hope of recovery from this world wide crisis by cutting key elements of move the economy forward, the brilliant mind from Eton college ask what he should do. Is it just a populist tactic or he is really lost ? What about cutting the Trident nuclear defence system which will cost us £80 billion, Mr Cameron ? That's 80 times the amount of cuts on housing benefit which do help poor families in this country. Mr Cameron, any plan in creating jobs for millions of people affected by your wonderful economics ? As long as the old Tory selective dogmas are in place, the happier Mr Cameron will be. Take it Britain !
