i don’t really agree with privatisation of anything else mate. the only things left even half-nationalised are public services, and as far as i’m concerned they should never have been privatised in the first place. i suppose i’d like to see single entity of everything owned by the people, but unlike many a marxist, i tend to believe in socialism through reform rather than through a revolutionary “uprising of the proletariat” as he puts it.

aside from political theory, just to put things in perspective:
the renewal of trident that new labour is pressing ahead with will cost £90 billion. which is more than we spend on the NHS in a whole year.

each year trident costs 1.5billion
replacing trident will cost around £21 billion

now it seems incredibly immoral, and quite frankly absurd and twisted that we are spending this amount of money on a nuclear weapons programme that if ever unleashed would cause untold suffering worldwide, instead of being pumped into the NHS, education, or public services… those things what actually help people, instead of kill or threaten.
