I do not want to get in to a discussion regards the advantages disadvantages of a nuclear deterrent, but I was wondering what people would spend £100Bn on?
With the recent collapse of key industries up north due to foreign backers, the building of a nuclear power station going to the Chinese… it is time to reinvest money in to flailing industries? to opt for British engineers to design and build our infrastructure? or do we just say that is part of a capitalist system and let these companies collapse, and jobs go abroad?
ok sensible – some of it retained by the defence for conventional weapons, the rest should be invested in renewable energies and Rail transport for the non-london services that are desparate for it ( that utilises the renewable capability )
I’d be investing in a space laser program to shoot down nuclear missiles fired at us.
If the aim of disarmament is stability and there being less big weapons kicking around, I’m not sure a massive, probably illegal, one-sided space based weapons system is the way to go….
I’d use it to weather the storm after I re-regulated the banking industry in the UK – wean us off relying on the rest of the world using a few thousand people in London to look after their money, which would devalue the £ from it’s lofty heights and allow for a more balanced, less London-centric economy.
I can’t believe you’re talking about buying one sausage roll when you have £100 Bn to spend! What a limited outlook some of you have.
Assuming 80p per Greggs sausage roll and 7.1 Bn people in the world, I would use the money to end world hunger by buying every person alive 17.6 sausage rolls.
I would then spend my Nobel prize money on coke and hookers 8)
A time machine to take people back in time and show them how shite the rail system was under British Rail.
Gin.
A proper CX bike for everyone to show them how crap they are as commuter bikes.
Port.
A grammar school, in a nice area, obviously.
A few crates of Sadlers Mud City Stout.
Privatise Jeremey Corbyn
A good bottle of red, a Nuit St George I think.
Scotland.
I’d buy helvellyn and turn it into an uplift mtb centre. Build a quality but cheap hotel at the top with a good bar, a hot swimming pool and a large jacuzzi overlooking the fantastic lake district scenery. In fact not just mtbs but all extreme sports that require height so you could zip line to the bottom, hang glide, parachute or wing suit down, there’d be a toboggan run too. All stw members would get cheap exclusive entry. I’d run charity days for under privileged people to come experience extreme sports for nought.

Making a very rash(er) assumption that there might be pork in a Greggs sausage roll, there are a fair few folk that don’t dig on swine. 1.57 billion muslims, 14 million jews, 400 million vegetarians and a few fussy eaters. That’s a few more for the rest of us. Add a bit of a bulk discount – we must have 25 each surely.
Are there enough pigs in the world – be afraid piggies, be very afraid.

I remember vividly how rubbish BR was.
However, back in 1994 we weren’t paying anything near as much for a season ticket as we are now, so I’m all for renationalising the railways, plus shooting any politician who voted in favour of privatisation back in the 90s.
Hookers, Coke, a rubber chicken, a supercar, a fridge freezer, a box of cornflakes, a set of pans complete with lids, a BBQ, a jigsaw, a range of bed linen, two tickets for a weekend away in Doncaster, a cuddly toy…..
I would buy Anglesey, turn it into Monkeysfeetland. A place where folk can only vote UKip, drive Audi’s and the only shop would be Greggs.
Staffed by Binners. 😀

those who are pig-averse may have one of those cheese-based things
I admit some vegans may starve but I’m not convinced they’ll be a great loss to the world 😈
