It is British policy to use Trident as a second-strike weapon. Advanced technology would have limited use in such a scenario. That’s why nuclear warfare relies on the simplest fallbacks possible.

Oh boy, I read that as “British police use Trident as a second-strike weapon” and thought you better comply when they tase you or else.

It’s the third decade of the twenty first century. To me this tech sounds perfectly sensible. I don’t get the obsession with spending extra to make a product worse.

You are right: third decade! I’m so behind the times. I hear that the army’s going to start using bows and arrows as there’s nothing like saving a bit of cash. All does the same job in the end, I suppose.
