Youβve really got to hand it to Westminster β not for transparency, decency, or planning, but for the sheer audacity of their logistical genius. βLetβs not park our fleet of nuclear subs near the seat of power,β they mutter in some chandeliered room, βletβs put them up northβ¦ somewhere with more sheep than scrutiny.β And voilΓ : Faslane becomes Ground Zero in the most underhanded postcode lottery in British history.
β’οΈ 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 isnβt national defence β itβs geopolitical fly-tipping.
Cllr. Furious of Argyll is right to kick off. These arenβt just boats β theyβre floating apocalypse machines, hand-delivered to the lochs like radioactive Deliveroos. And the kicker? Itβs all been decided without the local councils getting a real say. Because nothing screams βunited kingdomβ like turning one region into a target and calling it βnational security.β
Some suspect itβs envy. Maybe Westminster just got sick of Scotlandβs majestic hills, shimmering lochs, and intact infrastructure. βToo lovely,β they said. βNeeds more sonar and toxic waste.β Itβs not so much a defence policy as a revenge fantasy β βYou didnβt vote for us? Enjoy the fallout shelters.β
And letβs not forget: these subs are old. Theyβre not shiny new deterrents β theyβre Cold War hangovers with the charm of a leaking kettle. If they creak any louder, dolphins will unionise.
