Not one of those 5 will use the button, but they sure as shit dont care as much about the wants of the people without buttons.
Would you want a button? Or does the idea of having control through potentially violent means mean that you'd say no?

Good man.

You know what? If the UK was in immediate nuclear danger, you would use it. I doubt any UK prime minister would be the first to press the button but they should damn well be prepared to if doomsday came.Gassage said:

The simple answer is it has never been used.
The second answer is it's all about bragging rights and being at the nuclear power table which is quite pathetic.
Do Norway have it? Germany? Italy? Austria? Switzerland? Denmark? Finland?

Has it been "used" in that someone has pressed a button to make a big boomy thing? No. Clearly not.
Has it been "used" in that it has discouraged some nasty people from getting a little aggressive with Britain, or with its interests worldwide? Well, that, we'll never *know* for sure. But if you wind back to the days of the proper cold war, nukes in Cuba, etc, then I'd say that our possession of our own little arsenal quite possibly influenced some of the thinking back then. But, we'll never know whether it was used or not in that way in that sort of a situation.
You can't prove your contention.
I'll agree that the deterrent is probably of less relevance today as the basis of war has changed and global political differences are less likely to be settled with a bit of mutual destruction. But then we thought that the basis of war had changed when we dismantled our armed forces back in the 90s & 00s, so perhaps we'd better not chuck the nukes just yet, as they might come in handy one day.
Plus, I'm with @Hertz32 because he doesn't edit history when someone points out that he was wrong.
:P
Because the money promised by politicians for the NHS after brexit hasnt materialised and I just want to be sure.
The money would vanish a lot quicker than you think, the political system doesnt lend itself to keeping these promises but does lend itself to belittling people for not caring about one thing because they support another.

The Brexit money hasn't materialised because that was an obvious and demonstrable fiction - that many people were duped into believing.
I'm no expert on the matter, but isn't there a way to fund a scaled-down version of Trident for say, £20bn and invest the left over £20bn into Health and Education?

All the scenarios he listed would warrant different tactics than pressing the button. You'd deal with them using military force or political will. And in the latter, a nuclear deterrent would aid negotiations. The use for a nuclear deterrent is never the use of its destructive capabilities. By the time you launch the weapon, it's already useless.

They're both members of NATO and protected under article 5, but neither has the seat at the big table in the same way politically that we do because of Trident.
Would we all die in a nuclear winter if we binned it? No.
But we would lose the security that we have for the strong political foothold that belies our size.

Political strength isnt something to be ashamed of.

So everybody in the company gets the same rise as the CEO? Even if they are shit? And your best salesman who has delivered many big new customers only gets the same rise as your worst salesman who hasn't brought in any new business at all?
I'd rather have strength of humility and humanity, something very lacking in our political system.

1) We're still a member of the EU
2) We're still making contributions so,
3) the promised money is not yet free to be reallocated.
But don't let a small matter like the facts to get in the way of a good rant.
