At times like this, the mask really comes off the British media. There is no pretence - at all - about their impartiality or objectivity towards the Green Party. It is a blatant naked partisan cross-media assault against the Greens.

They don't actually need Scots, just the resources of Scotland, so I suppose to them it makes perfect sense. We are a bit uppity after all.

If other countries manage to complete the operation by other means and they are much safer what is the incentive, apart from the pride in receiving an excellence title, for doing it in this way? It doesn't make sense Additionally to risk it within 15m of Edinburgh is a step too far

This process is a world first and with good reason. The risk to the environment should it go wrong. If and it is a big if! it works. Rosyth will be deemed the centre of excellence for the process where all the UK nuclear submarine hulks will be sent for dismantling. All within 10 miles of Edinburgh.

Once extracted intact, the RPV is sealed inside a specialized transport package and sent to an approved interim storage facility until the UK's permanent Geological Disposal Facility (GDF) is ready. 10/

Any drop, tilt, or structural failure during the lift poses catastrophic radiological and structural risks to the dry dock facility. When cutting through structural steel near the primary circuit, engineers must prevent generation of radioactive metal dust or coolant residues: 8/

The Reactor Pressure Vessel is an enormous, dense steel pressure vessel weighing tens of tonnes: Moving and lifting a severely irradiated object of that weight out through the top of a dry-docked submarine requires purpose-built overhead cranes and containment enclosures. 7/

Workers cannot simply touch or approach the inner reactor components directly without receiving dangerous doses of radiation. A submarine’s interior is compact and heavily shielded. Space to maneuver heavy remote-handling tools inside the reactor compartment is measured in inches. 5/

Decades of continuous nuclear fission cause neutron activation in the heavy steel structure of the Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) and internal shielding. The reactor metal itself has become intensely radioactive, emitting penetrating gamma radiation. 4/

What makes it so hazardous? High Gamma Radiation. Although the spent nuclear fuel the High-Level Waste was removed from HMS Swiftsure shortly after decommissioning, the Intermediate-Level Waste (ILW) remains inside. 3/

US / Russia have dismantled nuclear submarines, cut out the entire middle reactor compartment, store it intact on land or opt for complete underwater segmenting.

NHS faces exodus of ADHD and autism services staff to private clinics. Low wages have caused brain drain, loss of skilled staff. Part of privatisation of the NHS by stealth. Private sector picks up NHS contracts, profiteers, higher cost to public purse, increases NHS queues.

A fascinating editorial decision from the BBC, to make the headline a scaremongering “AUTISM AND ADHD ARE BEING OVERDIAGNOSED”, and then, four bullet points later, have the author of the report quoted as essentially saying “nah, that’s bullshit, actually”.

ADHD and autism at risk of over-diagnosis, says report, as author warns of rise in mental ill health
Summary
• An official review in England finds there is a risk of people being over-diagnosed with
ADHD and autism - three key findings from the report
• As well as neurodevelopmental conditions, the review looks at mental ill health, particularly in younger people. Our health correspondent explains the difference
• It was commissioned earlier this year after Wes Streeting, then the health secretary, said there was an "over-diagnosis" of mental health conditions
• Speaking to Radio 4's Today programme earlier, review chair Prof Peter Fonagy said Streeting was "with respect, completely wrong"

Technically you're correct but also seem to be missing a glaring point. Scottish MPs make up approx 8% of Westminster, the 84% from English constituencies always have control of the house regardless of party. Forget the name, it's just the English parliament branded as the UK to sell us the lie.
