In the news

Already given up, eh? Gone from

"Your next job could be in cyber"

To

"We're rubbish at cyber but still have nukes."

Priti good joke.

can someone with potato skillz draw a helmet n balls on these please.

In what situation is it better to have 260 nukes than 180?

If you want to build an Empire in which the sun sets everywhere.

I think it's more "oh look, they want to nuke something" as we watch a missile spontaneously launch itself off the east coast of Scotland.

How nice we are planning to send the new aircraft carrier to the far east to show them we can project power, like we don't have better problems to tackle

I think the answer you are looking for is that there is no realistic situation where it is better to have 260 nukes than 180

What happens when you have a xenomorph infestation and have to take off to nuke the site from orbit?

The more the better in my book.

You're thinking too small... once we send a carrier and a sub with nukes to the far east the UK WILL have better problems to tackle!

do we get a refund for the hundreds of old nukes that we didn't use ? how about a sale or return deal with the manufacturers just in case we don't use this batch

can they be recycled though ?

No, you've misunderstood, this is more like a kind of N+1 deal. Like buying a gravel bike, not a new road bike.

Nothing to send back or recycle.

Hopefully, like that gravel bike, these will also be unused.

do we get a refund for the hundreds of old nukes that we didn't use ?

Didn't use YET

They could be recycled if Aldermaston could cope but as they can’t manage our current warheads any idea of recycling or increasing the number is just sabre rattling

why not sell the old ones off to the highest bidder, we need some excitement after this last year of aversion to risk

recoup some dollar dollar bills y'all

Thanks, Matt, for communicating this in terms that people on here can actually understand ...

They should just say we have loads of them, if they are a "deterrent"

"180 bombs? Nah bruv, old news, we have like 500 now, and another 225 are with Hermes waiting for delivery"

They should just say we have loads of them, if they are a "deterrent"

Maybe they are.

They were taken back to the depot, you mean.

"Please do not throw this parcel over the garden fence."

Do you mean Kayode Ewumi?

Loool

"We've left your parcel with a neighbour."

Ah.

I can totally imagine some Tory cronies glibly patting an empty missile casing while receiving a cheque for a squillion quid for supplying them.

Ireland becomes newest nuclear power. Happy St Pat's!

Do you mean Kayode Ewumi?

Fuck me. Accidentally racist, I suppose. You learn and grow.

Sorry, Kayode.

Hah!
