Faslane: police in change of tactics.
Following the high profile arrests of anti-nuclear protestors at Faslane last week, local police have admitted that they got it wrong.

A shamefaced Chief Constable told the JT, "Apparently the protesters were right all along - nuclear weapons are illegal." Determined not to be wrong footed again the rednecked rozzer went on to explain the new police tactics.

"Basically we're going to seize any Trident submarine we find, disarm it and keep it in a cupboard down the station."

The latest product of money-down-the-drainism "HMS Dangerously Unstable" is currently completing sea trials including the tricky manoeuvre "Snag a Trawler" followed by the pish easy manoeuvre, "Deny everything."

Until the police can successfully handcuff a 6,500 ton machine of mass destruction, the government is looking into an interim solution - stationing the subs in areas where a majority of the local population think nuclear weapons are just dandy.

A Home Counties short list is currently being drawn up and the lucky winning locals can look forward to admiring daily the sight of a big black expensive thing cutting majestically through the waves trailing an attractive cloud of radiation from its leaking reactor.

Meanwhile, tawny trot Tommy Sheridan, having viewed video footage of his Faslane arrest is to save up for a hair transplant.
