| Trident Debate 14 June 2007 : |
|
| Views on nuclear weapons: |
|
Replied to survey in November 2006 and said:
"I will oppose the upgrading or replacement of the Trident nuclear weapon
system.
"I have long argued that politics is all about priorities, and we
shouldn't elect politicians who give a greater priority to building and
maintaining weapons of mass destruction to kill the people of other
lands, than to looking after the people in our own.
"When people like Blair and Brown argue that we need nuclear weapons we
have to ask them just who is that we hate so much we want to wipe them
off the face of the earth, because that is the reality of a nuclear
strike. Whose children is it that Blair and Brown want to vaporise, and
why?
"There is no justification for the existence of Trident and we must
oppose any upgrading or replacement of the system."
