Ok, just casually ignoring the money bought into the west coast of Scotland as a result of trident being stationed there…….
So we should get rid of our nukes and just let countries like Russia, China and the US have them all??
Good, I’d gladly pay towards keeping us safe.
So 550 million per year towards a nuclear deterrent, not so bad. Considering the world we live in today not too shabby.
How much does the MOD (navy) contribute in wages and earnings to staff, contractors and suppliers for the bases on the Clyde.
The UK gives 14 billion to charity per year, so let’s use Alba maths. That’s 1.4 billion for Scotland to charity. We donate more to charity than we do to deterring would be dictators.
Now they have full-blown war, conscription, blackouts, dead civilians, displacement, and bombs raining down on their once beautiful cities.
Seems really worth it.
If Ukraine, post Budapest memorandum, has taught us anything, it’s that giving up your nukes is a bad idea.
Pocket change, after all that oil money we have washing down our streets.
To put that in context, that’s less than 1.5% of the annual _defence_ budget, which is already at a historically low level. Less than 0.05% of government spending total
Fantastic, glad to pay towards it
Should ask Ukraine if it’s worth giving up nukes.
So? In an Ideal world no one would have these things. This isn’t an ideal world. If this stops our kids having to go for a wee tour in Europe, it’s a price well worth paying.
Oh good this multmakting fuck is back.
OP lashing out at anyone who doesn’t agree with him.
Of all the things we spaff money on just now I’ll keep the one that saves me from being conscripted if some mean old country decided to invade.
I say conscripted but having my country invaded is one of the few reasons I would sign up but I’m a little old and unfit now so if it takes a tax contribution of about £1800 from me on defence that feels like a good spend.
How much are England,wales and Northern Ireland paying .
Cheap as chips as far as I’m concerned when you look at the trade off for national security. But you keep having a tantrum about it if it makes your Saturday night fun, OP.
I don’t think so.
Nukes cool.
Damn, OP seems like a real dumbass.
Wow expensive things cost a lot of money who would have thought
Looking solely at the underlying economics, the share of UK tax cost falling to the good people of Argyle and Bute is dwarfed by the investment in local infrastructure and communities. So happy days.
And at a geopolitical level, the SSBN base at HMNB Clyde is completely secure until perhaps the end of the Dreadnaught class lifecycle at the turn of the 21st century. Any notion that this might be negotiable is fanciful.
Two words to the idea the SG could spend it better: Glen Sannox
That’s…. really not that much money lmao
I’m fine with that
Each?!?!?!
What’s the value to Scotland of having the Trident deterrent? More than £1.5m/day for 30 years. The union dividend!
That’s so nice of you.
Cool so is it like a timeshare? Can I ride the sub I’m paying for?
That’s made me go ballistic.
Tbh if paying nothing isn’t an option I’d rather pay more.. those boats are held together with sticky back plastic.
>Scots to pay ‘£1.5m every day for 30 years’ towards Trident renewal
So
28p a day,
£103.30 a year
£3099 over 30 years.
That’s really not that much money.
The average person earns £28,668 in Scotland (including part time). The average person pays £3,217.61 in tax per a year.
This means the average person pays 3.21% of their tax towards trident per annum.
This is assuming (which you probably shouldn’t) that the National’s figure already accounted for all the other forms of income the gov receives.
Scotland has a current population of just over 5.4 million people, this means a day each Scot pays just under 27 pence a day, £1.89 a week, around £8.10 a month, £90.72 a year.
Netflix costs more than the nuclear program does.
What each?
In an ideal world there we be no nuclear weapons but we don’t live in an ideal world. Better to have them than to not.
I’ve read alot of the replies and you’re a complete melt OP. God forbid you ever have to experience anything like the Ukrainians are having to deal with for the wisdom of your stupid ideals and awful reasoning
Thank god we do
Hah! You think we won’t be out of here by then?
Do you run multiple accounts on this sub?
We should spend more on defence and the nuclear deterrent is an incredibly cost effective system for a tiny proportion of our defence budget.
I would like to see what that 1.5 mil a day is being spent on.
I could afford about £0.85m, but no more on my current income.

I’ve no got that kind of money lying about.
Eliminating nukes helped Ukraine massively, didn’t it?
