I only picked this up as I have a sub to The National which works on to the Uber-unionist brother paper, The Herald.

But the final; sentence of the article cracked me up - bonking hazards

‘A UK Government source said: “This is total and utter nonsense. The security of our nuclear deterrent is unaffected. The real threat to the future of our deterrent is an SNP government in Scotland.” ‘

#Scotland #UKPol #Trident #Joke

@Wen of course the threat is the SNP, an indy Scotland means hosting nukes and their spills on England which is totally unacceptable to Englandshire!
@Wen I don't get it
We're not safe if we don't baby sit their nukes? Is that a threat they'll just set them off where they are rather than build a base down south because NIMBYism might lose them a seat or five?
They belong to America anyway so just send them back there and England can continue throwing rocks from their broken ships and kites from their carriers with no planes

@spytfyre For silly reasons they seem to think that putting things unpleasant to Westminster in a country far away of which they know little is safer. It is not but what the heck.

The nuclear deterrent is a completely different matter, but I fear those south of us do not have the intellects to understand the issues.
