 "Nuclear missiles are the ultimate weapons of mass destruction and, for me, 
 renewal is a moral question. As international law makes clear, a nuclear 
 strike 
 cannot make distinctions between combatants and non-combatants - so innocent 
 civilians face death, irradiation, burns, cancers, destruction of their 
 environment and fallout on neighbouring states - the whole vista is too 
 terrible to contemplate." 
  
 Jon Trickett MP: 
  
 "The Trident debate has been unnecessarily truncated, facts have been 
 inadequately explained and MPs are justifiably irritated at the Government's 
 heavy-handed approach. The last thing we need is the Blair era bowing out 
 with 
 yet another decision forced through the Commons by whips, a large-scale 
 rebellion and the need to rely on Tory support." 
  
 The names behind the anti-nuclear petition 
  
 We believe that: 
  
 * Britain should not be rushed into a premature decision to replace its 
 Trident 
 nuclear weapons system; 
  
 * More time should be taken for parliamentary and public scrutiny and 
 debate; 
  
 * The urgent need is both to halt the spread of nuclear weapons to new 
 countries, and for all states which possess them to move more rapidly and 
 substantially towards nuclear disarmament; 
  
 * The priority for the Government should be a renewed diplomatic initiative 
 to 
 seek a breakthrough in disarmament and non-proliferation negotiations, 
 similar 
 to the lead it has taken in relation to such global challenges as climate 
 change and poverty.
