UK must defend against North Korea's nuclear threat, says David Cameron

David Cameron says North Korea's nuclear possibilities are a 'real concern' for the UK, after visiting a British Naval nuclear submarine in Scotland on Thursday. The PM took a tour of the submarine following the printing of an article he wrote in the Daily Telegraph, stressing the need for strong nuclear defences. At a question and answer session after the tour, Cameron says of North Korea's weapons: 'They can reach Europe. They can reach us too'.

Did you actually just say you don't think the UK has much of an army?

[legandrydirk]

Lord Ramsbottom has said we would need clearance bye the USA if we needed to fire them.So you are right in a way, all other military leaders have called for conventional weapons as terrorists seem to be the new threat to security.And the nuclear issue is from the cold war.So I do not see why we should pay 100 billion to re new them.Poll said that 80 per cent of the Scottish public want them removed.And only Independence in 2014 is going to do that.CND say that there is nowhere else for them to go

We might not like it, but we have no moral right to tell another county that they cannot develop nuclear power or nuclear weapons when we have them ourselves. We are not the world's police.

I live in the US I wanna live in the UK :(

[redzool]

Well it looks like the uk might be going back to nuke testing

Like other war profiteers and politicians, Cameron sees no need for peace. War and threat of war will always help support governments even when it is detrimental to the population. The US is the best example of that and Britain is really no different. The biggest threat to any country is politicians.

[mattizabeaast]

And I agree 100% percent because yall could get attcked too. and yall dont ever get in wars good luck man. i wouldnt think yall had much of an army?

[DrSpooglemon]

STOP! No-o-o-o-o-o-o-o. They MUST STOP! NO!

[legandrydirk]

As the treaties were signed bye the UK.And the UK would be over, as only Scotland and England has signed the union.So that means that they would be property of Scotland.And we do not want them in our nation.So we would have a choose to sell them or scrap them.The unionists have even said that Scotland would need to pay them for there removal.Even when that has never happened at any other time in history.When USSR broke up the Russians paid the former nations to get them back again

I can imagine David Cameron failed dramatically in his geography studies.

[TheCoomer]

Too right, if we were prepared before Hitler invaded Poland the second world war would of have been over very quickly. So why not learn from this? By preparing as well it boosts our economy as we invest in British companies for weaponry. Creating and keeping jobs as well as keep up with technology.

[DrSpooglemon]

WTF are you talking about? Who are you talking to? What?

[RiMind]

i used to think that we dont need arms, but i guess we do.;( becasue they are here to stay and so is pychopatic leaders/

[Skooff]

Nukes are not the only kind of wmd many countries have used them. i am totally against another war and the ones being fought in Iraq and Afghanistan though.

[RiMind]

paronia can be the down fall of mankind, but you can enver tell until its to late.

[legandrydirk]

As long as they are removed from Scottish territory when we are Indy.Runp UK can pay the 100 billion to make new ones.While my nation basks in a new dawn of prosperity and imagination and wealth divided more equally to those who need it

[frankfromupstateny]

Hey....the questions we need to ask ourselves are these...."what makes us different than other countries"? Why do we have the right to overtax our citizenry....not balance a budget....take guns away from our "citizen army" or tell other countries what to do and how to do it?

Why do Hedge fund managers with tiny "pricks" make more money than school teachers who can "outmuscle" them mentally and usually physically?

Why does the President go on vacation 4-5 times a year..other than "he can"?

[MisterCuddlesworth]

[chrispoole]
