#1 Brown's done the numbers & come to the conclusion that his government can't afford the maintenance & upkeep on his nuclear forces. It's not as if he can't tuck in under the American thermonuclear umbrella with Germany.

Makes perfect sense if you have no sense of national pride. Since the political class of Britain is notable for that very quality, I'm only surprised that it took this long.

#2 Well, if you want to get nukes out of Pakland, why wouldn't you also want to get them out of their colony?
