A canny plan to rain on the Trident parade

The rain had a lot to do with it apparently. One reason the Ministry of Defence was so keen on situating nuclear submarines in Loch Long is that it rains there 260 days a year. Any nuclear spillage would, therefore, be washed away rapidly into the deep waters of the Firth of Clyde. A reassuring thought, for today's SNP-led Trident Summit in Glasgow on how to wash nuclear weapons out of Scotland.
