Does the UK need a nuclear deterrent?

We have never had an independent nuclear deterrant. America holds the keys to ours but cunningly gets us to pay for it. If we put our money earmarked for nukes into our conventional forces we could have the best equipped defence force in the world. When you consider that the ruling classes will all head for their bunkers if a nuclear war starts, the nukes could be used then to eradicate the poor. Just look at what little the americans have done to reinstate the (poor) victims of Katrina.
