No link but, since it's election time, do you think a cash-strapped future Government could cancel Trident?
I'd cancel the damn thing in a heartbeat - a waste of money on something that would/could never be used - just a "big boy's toy", used for posturing purposes by those who think the UK still has a credible role as a Global Policeman.
But would the 'dark forces' inside the the Defence Establishment allow any Government (of any hue) to pull the plug?
