As an American, I really don't have a dog in that hunt.
If I were a Brit, I'd sure as heck want to keep nukes. Pooty-poot is intent on resurrecting the soviet empire. Home grown British crazies are allied with Middle East crazies. Can the Brits rely on the U.S. nuke deterrent instead of their own if Tehran slips a suitcase nuke to some nutburgers in London??

Well, according to
the movies Britain did kill
a lot of Zulus,
but when up against
tough, First World folks like Germans
you had to call us!
Be reasonable --
India gave you the boot
and Kingsley didn't
even have to call
Steven Seagal for advice!
Other than that thing
where Britain beat up
on China (to sell them drugs!)
Britain's claim to fame
for their "warfare" skills
was a constant, smoldering
draw with tough-guy [!] France . . .
