Does the UK have chemical or biological warheads ?

I certainly wouldn't like to presume that there are, but we certainly have the capacity to create them if we so wished.

Porton Down exists and was created for the express purpose of beating the Hun at their own game. i.e. originally, it was to try to beat the Germans by making something more noxious than mustard gas. It is alleged that it moved to a purely defensive capacity in the mid 1950's but regardless, chemical agents are regularly made at Porton Down.

There are many people today claiming that they are suffering the ill effects of various chemical agents from time they spent at Porton Down.
