I'm In The Market For a Nuclear Bunker.

Posted on 01:53 by Unknown

The government is privatising our nuclear submarine bases. You know, cus privatising everything else has worked so well and stuff. The railways anyone? Water? Electricity? G4S and the Olympics? Never mind, the fact that government couldn't negotiate to buy a table cloth in a market let alone a multi-billion contract with private companies. If you don't believe me, google Edinburgh city council and their trams fiasco. All privatisation has done is prove just how corrupt, inefficient and incompetent our government really is.

Basically, a consortium of private companies will be running the Trident nuclear submarine bases at Faslane and Coulport. Even, more excitingly, the consortium already run the Atomic Weapons Establishment where the warheads are built. It's definitely a who's who of the military-industrial complex who are getting rich at the expense of lives of innocent people in the UK and elsewhere.

So, I'm in the market for a nuclear bunker. Because I don't trust a bunch of private companies in it for the profit not to fuck up so extensively that they don't end up "accidentally" flogging our nuclear warheads to terrorists to pay off the inevitable fine for "accidentally" blowing another one up. I don't trust a bunch of misogynistic private companies steeped in the discourse of hyper-masculinity not to hire unqualified staff with serious psychological problems who "accidentally" cause a nuclear war. I'm not exactly happy with our military having nuclear weapons [or the militaries in most countries] but I trust, only slightly more, our military than I trust the arsewipes at Lockheed Martin.
