Top scientist backs Scottish independence to get rid of immoral and expensive Trident nuclear nuclear missiles

“I intend to vote ‘yes’ to independence,” he said. “My principal reason for doing so is because it would finally sever us from a reliance on nuclear weapons, carried by Trident submarines and based in Faslane.

“They are the most conspicuous, useless, immoral and expensive symbols of Westminster’s hankering for imperial grandeur since Winston Churchill first pronounced his determination to defend the empire in November 1942.”

Distinguished mathematician, Sir Michael Atiyah, has added his support to the Yes campaign, claiming that he backs independence mainly due to a separate Scotland’s anti-nuclear weapon stance.

Sir Michael, one of the only scientists to have been resident of both the Royal Society of Edinburgh and the Royal Society in London, believes the anti-nuclear policy is more important than the issues surrounding academia, which have been cited by many of his contemporaries as reasons for remaining in the union.

Song lyrics from the song in the video above;

In the town where I was born
Live some weapons beside the sea
I was told about their lives
In our yellow nuclear powered ballistic missile submarines

We all live in a yellow nuclear powered ballistic missile submarine
Yellow nuclear powered ballistic missile submarine
Yellow nuclear powered ballistic missile submarine
Yellow nuclear powered ballistic missile submarine

It’s gonnae cost a bob or two
To buy new missles for me and you
You can’t afford to feed the weans
But their priority is in Faslane

We all live in a yellow nuclear powered ballistic missile submarine
Yellow nuclear powered ballistic missile submarine
Yellow nuclear powered ballistic missile submarine
Yellow nuclear powered ballistic missile submarine

A hundred billion of our pounds
Ignore the misery that’s all around
Let’s buy some nukes! Prepare for war.
While child poverty is one in four.

We all live in a yellow nuclear powered ballistic missile submarine
Yellow nuclear powered ballistic missile submarine
Yellow nuclear powered ballistic missile submarine
Yellow nuclear powered ballistic missile submarine
