All so easy, isn't it? Except we are incapable of designing and building

Well, we did have that capability but G Brown was too
afraid of the anti-nuclear lobby, and instead of ordering
replacements back in 2007 he sold off our UK capability
to Toshiba, who have now reneged on their agreement
to build a new plant on Anglesey.

And Rolls Royce still do have the skills because they
design and build all the reactors used in our nuclear subs.
