HAVING arrived back from my holidays in Torquay, I went through the letters pages for the past week.
I would like to reply to Joyce Pickard (Letters, March 10), who commented on my letter about the replacement of our Trident nuclear submarines.
These subs are there to defend our shores from countries sending nuclear weapons to destroy us. Our nuclear subs act as a deterrent.
Yes, they could destroy millions of people – that’s what they are there for. Even Labour when in power decided not to build four submarines but three, They still need to be replaced when the time is due.
