‘Dangerous’ to remove Trident nukes from independent Scotland – former UK defence chief

[OutspokenGolf]

[QUOTE=zeromancer;45942465]It's not dangerous at all, I live near Faslane Naval Base, and we see trident submarines go down the clyde all the time, I'd rather them out my area to be honest, being so close to a trident sub is unnerving at best, even if they are not armed, and I hardly doubt there will be a nuclear war when we get independence, sure it may take a while to move, but I'm sure the UK doesn't store every single one of their trident missiles up here in Scotland...[/QUOTE]

I've been into Faslane a couple of times for an archery competition hosted by their sports club. Shit you not they have people walking around with handheld geiger counters and boxes of iodide tablets in lead shielded rooms. It's scary stuff.
