We realize this, it would be Scotland sending out a message that we do not believe in Nuclear weapons.

There is also a lot of oil in the Clyde estuary, that cannot be touched because of the Trident subs being based there.

and yes oil is at a low, but this may not always be the case.

Not every country in NATO has nuclear weapons LOL

Not everyone holds the same views, see what happens if a major political party puts in their manifesto to remove Trident subs to the Thames.

So what? Are you not grasping the core concept of NATO? It's primarily a nuclear alliance! Since the end of the Cold War it's become more of a military alliance but it was founded and remains a nuclear alliance to counter any other aggressive nuclear states.

If Britain , France, and the U.S. WERNT nuclear powers and part of NATO, what do you think Russia would be doing now, apart from ruling the whole of Europe, including Scotland ? It's a good job some of the countries in NATO have the balls to have a deterent. If Trident was removed to the Thames, Tyne or Humber, the only difference it would make to Scotland would be the loss of jobs and income ! Please relocate Trident to the Tyne, we have the workforce and skills, and could do with the jobs and money !
