People are pointing to trivial sums - even for Scunner's iPod/iPad/iThingy. What about the Government deciding to add another £3billion to the £3billion already spent on preparing for the replacement of Trident even though no decision has been made, claims the Government, on whether to replace it or not? What will be final cost of the UK renewing its non-independent nuclear non-deterrent? Nobody can guess. Just think of a number, multiply it an equally outrageous amount, and then double it. Still, we can afford it with all the extra tax on public sector workers and cutting down on benefits for rest of us.
