In view of the fact that the UK is a member of NATO and has the US and France as allies, my question is does the UK need it's own independent nuclear deterrent ? |

I agree with the need for a nuclear deterrent so I am not advocating that there should not be one, just questioning whether a shared nuclear deterrent would not provide adequate protection, and if not why not. |

Yes, we should keep our own, for the very obvious reasons. |

We must always be prepared for the worst and defend ourselves accordingly. |

The obvious problem with a shared deterrent is being able to relie on another country to support what may not be a shared cause or view |

This country should always maintain its own nuclear deterrent independently. We should never have to rely on America, and certainly not France, for protection from any aggressor. |

Just imagine a rogue State wanted to sling a missile our way. |
