Scotland’s “Nuclear Apocalypse” at Faslane – What the Troops Haven’t Taught Us
What the Media Didn’t Tell You
Between January 1st and April 22nd, 2025, a Category‑A incident — the highest rung on the nuclear risk ladder — popped up at the HM Naval Base Clyde (Haven of Vanguard subs). In plain English: there’s a real possibility that bombs could leak radiation into the surrounding environment.
Inside the Investigation
- SEPA (Scottish Environment Protection Agency) found that the Royal Navy had failed to maintain 1,500 water pipes
- Leakage could allow Trident missiles and Astute‑class nuclear hunters to put the local waters at risk
- “Actual or high potential for radioactive release” — the official term for what the world is calling a “nuclear scare”
Parliamentary Fallout
- Keith Brown MSP (SNP’s deputy leader) slammed the situation as a “direct threat” to the community and environment after contamination was found in Loch Long
- He blasted Washington’s “mass‑destruction” budget while preaching a Scotland free of Trident “once we have independence”
- Labour’s parliament is reportedly withholding full details on exposure and the scale of the incident
Official Defence Response
A spokesperson from the Ministry of Defence vowed, “We prioritize safe handling of radioactive materials. There is no public risk, no environmental impact, and this is not the Department of Energy’s error.” The statement also leans into the idea that the nuclear deterrent is a “guaranteer of national security.”
Why this Misses the Mark (and What You Can Do)
- We’re in a world where nuclear threats are allegedly “safe”, yet every report adds up to a serious problem
- If you’re living near Loch Long, keep an eye on local updates and environmental bulletins
- Call your local representative; demand transparency on Category‑A incidents and real protection plans
Stay Informed, Stay Safe
While the headline news might not have all the details, the situation is a strict reminder that the doomsday bunker is not always a safe haven. Keep an eye on local news outlets and follow your Member of Parliament for updates. And if you’re tired of the drama, learn how you can get in touch with community watchdogs to demand accountability.
