Faslane is where the Tridents subs are kept. They could be moved to virtually any English or Welsh port but the SoS article named the most likely ones.

Coulport is where the missiles are kept, nearby. The missiles at Coulport are in the depths of quite large hills for obvious reasons.

I've just had a look at the map of other possible venues for Trident - the only one with comparable hills is the Welsh option. I doubt they would move it to Wales as the Welsh could soon follow the Scots into Independence. So if they have nowhere to move Trident, and the missiles, the only option is to scupper the Scottish nationalist parties this election.

There are two ways to do that - well three, but persuasion and propaganda and Blairs Scottish aunties have obviously failed. One is to rig the election through the electronic vote-counters. Otherwise a deal has been done between the main Unionist parties in advance - the Tories, NuLab and the NuLibs ( in Scotland the current Lib-lab pact makes them indistinguishable).

I may just be scaremongering here, time will tell, but I am genuinely feared. Because if they rig the election, then lots of us will realise how and why. We won't be happy. And if they form a unionist coalition then everyone in the UK will realise the complicity of the parties. We will skip the Scottish state and go directly to anarchy in the worst sense of the word.

It's a secret ballot. I don't even know how my dad is voting. It is a damn poor secret how I am voting:

First Minister
Alex Salmond X ( he is a much nicer person than the press would have you believe)

MSP
SNP X ( Angela in my case, again, a genuinely pleasant person )

Councillor
1 SNP
2 SNP
3 Solidarity
4 Scottish Greens
5 SSP

I still claim to be an anarchist. I am not voting for anybody. I am voting against the Iraq war, Trident, NATO, the council tax.

You will have your own priorities. I do realise that in England it is 'just a local election'. You still have things to vote against though - like housing your own missiles for once, or supplying your own cannon-fodder for your cheap oil now we are reclaiming ours from you. But you folk in Wales, you could soon have the missiles up yer arse, and be the last part of the English Empire too scared to go it alone. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

I don't hear any Irish people complaining about the right to vote 'giving creedance to the system' - no offence, but most folk in Ulster learned long before STV that multiple votes were a good thing, they always voted often in every election. I doubt Trident will be moved there !
