You’ve really got to hand it to Westminster β€” not for transparency, decency, or planning, but for the sheer audacity of their logistical genius. β€œLet’s not park our fleet of nuclear subs near the seat of power,” they mutter in some chandeliered room, β€œlet’s put them up north… somewhere with more sheep than scrutiny.” And voilΓ : Faslane becomes Ground Zero in the most underhanded postcode lottery in British history.

☒️ When In Doubt, Dump It in Scotland

Why place a strategic nuclear target near London when you can gift-wrap it for Scotland instead? This isn’t national defence β€” it’s geopolitical fly-tipping.

Cllr. Furious of Argyll is right to kick off. These aren’t just boats β€” they’re floating apocalypse machines, hand-delivered to the lochs like radioactive Deliveroos. And the kicker? It’s all been decided without the local councils getting a real say. Because nothing screams β€œunited kingdom” like turning one region into a target and calling it β€œnational security.”

Some suspect it’s envy. Maybe Westminster just got sick of Scotland’s majestic hills, shimmering lochs, and intact infrastructure. β€œToo lovely,” they said. β€œNeeds more sonar and toxic waste.” It’s not so much a defence policy as a revenge fantasy β€” β€œYou didn’t vote for us? Enjoy the fallout shelters.”

And let’s not forget: these subs are old. They’re not shiny new deterrents β€” they’re Cold War hangovers with the charm of a leaking kettle. If they creak any louder, dolphins will unionise.
