They are opposed by the majority of Scots. and at a time when their is a need to invest in our schools and hospitals, it is simply unbelieviable that this New Labour Government want to spend £76 Billion on new Nuclear weapons" Replied to survey in June 2005 saying he was opposed to Trident replacement and said "At a time of global instability caused by the illegal war in Iraq, with public services such as our schools and hospitals coming under increasing financial pressure, there can be no justification for wasting public money on a new Trident system" |
