In response to the publication of the Trident Alternatives Review, Louise Edge, Disarmament Campaigner for Greenpeace UK, said –

“One hundred billion pounds could do a lot to address some of the real threats facing modern Britain – climate change, the recession, terrorism – but instead we’re throwing it away on a system designed for the threat of Soviet tanks entering West Germany. Nothing in the Alternatives Review changes the fact that Trident replacement will be a colossally expensive weapon targeted at the last century.”
