Comment on Green Party Policies : The Disabled by J.Gasper.

The Green party is very passionate about what they believe but they are circulating a lot of inaccurate figures. They keep saying that replacing Trident will cost £100 billion. That’s nonsense! Even the CND website only says £76 billion and that is an estimate of what it would cost to replace, run and maintain the whole system for forty years including all the salaries of personnel. But you’ve got to have a navy so all those people would be paid anyway.
The Government’s own figure for replacing the system is £12-20 billion out of which 60% is the cost of the actual submarines. We would need those anyway, nuclear or not, so it’s more accurate to say that the cost of the nuclear warheads is a maximum of £8 billion.
The system last for 40 years so that comes to £200 million per year, in other words £3 per year for each citizen, man, woman and child. The cost of a sandwich or the cost of remaining a world power.
Trident makes a profit as we use it for such things as patrolling the valuable oilfields around the Falklands, which we couldn’t drill without having a deterrent.

Don’t be taken in by the BBC. They want you to believe there are only three or four parties to vote for. Not true. The LibLabCon are all crooks, and even the new boy Nick Clegg took £3.5 million in illegal donations to his party, then brazened it out.
The EU rules us now, and unless you vote to leave it you are wasting your vote. We are in favour of electoral reform and less bureacracy.
VOTE UKIP.
