Subsequently that was taken off the agenda because, not suprisingly, the people in that area don't fancy being a target and are not happy about the consequences of an accident. Perfectly understandable: we don't want those things either. Next up, should we vote yes we would have to pay for the privilege of not having nuclear submarines in our country, and it would cost a fortune. And now the MOD is suggesting that part of our country, at Faslane, should be designated part of the sovereign territory of what is left of the UK if Scotland should vote for independence. I don't know whether to laugh or spit, but the smell of desperation is likely to choke me
