Considering the title of this thread, might I just correct you on

please?
Since the free-fall bombs went, the only "nukes" that the UK has at it's
disposal are the ones in the US-supplied missiles in our submarines.
These
are not ours and the use of them is not in the gift of the British Prime
Minister. The UK merely runs that small part of the American nuclear
deterrent by their permission. Their only use would be in defence of the
American homeland.
Britain is no longer a nuclear power. France is, India is, Israel is,
and -
oh, I almost forgot; Pakistan also is able to brandish the big nuclear
stick.
So if you ever again get the urge to shout "Time to Nuke Pakistan!"
perhaps
you'll first pause to remember that Pakistan is an independent nuclear
power
and Britain isn't.
Cheers.

Ummm, I'm an American!!!!!!!!

I wasn't aware that you started the thread; it's just the daft title that
got to me.
It's just the sort of thing farty little Britishers come out with. They are
all under the impression their sawn-off pitiful country still has a nuclear
tail to wag.
By the way, my name isn't Ummm.
